My name is

Ms. Appaiah

I am from Bangalore, India and Sterling, Virginia.

An interesting fact about me is that I once broke my ankle while skydiving.

My favorite children’s books are the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling and Wonder by R. J. Palacio.

My favorite place to visit is anywhere that I am immersed in culture and history, where I can interact and learn from people who come from different backgrounds. Some of my most favorite travel memories are from Granada, Spain.

I feel included when people engage me in conversation and I feel heard.

I enjoy teaching students about the C.A.R.E.S. trait of empathy.

My hope for this school year is that everything goes well.

My dream for this school year is to finish the year strong.
