– Amanda, teacher

“NOBODY captures on the outside what is inside each student.”

“Everybody knows respect is important, but there is a lot of confusion about how to build respect … Who Is NOBODY? helps people figure out what makes them unique and not hide that part of themselves. I wanted my students to discover and share their interests and build their sense of self based on their actions.”
– Kelly Clark, Director

“The children who are waiting to have their turn with NOBODY are so excited … and their ideas are phenomenal about who they are going to help for their Who Is NOBODY? Project.”
