W.F. Killip Elementary School is back online. Tune in today to find out about news, sports and weather and other news.
” I love getting my news from such talented young reporters,” said Virginia Watahomigie, executive director of the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth. “This is such a wonderful broadcast. Further, I think this is great for teachers, parents and others trying to figure out how to engage meaningfully with students during distance learning- terrific example for us all Killip Elementary!”
When she was in fourth grade, Esther Cadman’s teacher asked her a question that changed her life: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
It’s a simple question every elementary school student has been asked, but for Cadman, this question opened the door to future possibilities, which was an idea she never had before: that she could be whatever she wanted. For that 10-year-old in Albuquerque, New Mexico, living in a home with alcoholism and domestic violence, that meant earning a doctorate.
Spoiler: She defended her dissertation a few weeks ago and on Nov. 22, she will graduate, being the first in her family to earn a Ph.D.
