Hello my name is Hannah Rose Wolk. If you ever see me with children, they aren't mine (biologically). I spend most of my time with the kids I nanny, which is 845932034957 different children. I have my entire life planned out on Pinterest boards, including every room in my dream house, what my kids are going to wear, what kind of dog I want to have, what clothes I'm going to wear for the rest of my life, etc. etc. I want to be a neonatal nurse practitioner or an OB or a pediatric nurse practitioner, or all three. If I am not with a child, I am most likely with my dog Wesley a.k.a. pupperdoodles, a.k.a. Wesley Wolkovitz. (Follow him on insta @wesleywolk). If I am not with a baby, or my dog, you can find me eating Sebastian Joes raspberry chocolate chip ice cream! Add me on snapchat for more exclusive photos of my dog- @wolkhannah

Grade Level Coordinator Rob Griffin: I feel like (the open forum) went well. People were able to express how they felt to all the group, especially later on in the discussion when there was a more diverse group in the room. I think (the forum) opened the door to things that would make us a better school as far as how we handle situations dealing with diversity. Everybody sees things through a different lens and I havent been here long enough to really be able to know the difference between students and how they feel but listening to them during the forum, I could really tell there are students that dont feel safe.
