While my family and I went through homelessness during my daughter's 1st-grade year she failed extremely at a regular school, I enrolled my children at mustard seed and I don't know what the teachers did there, but my daughter was A roll-up til the pandemic she was the smartest 4th grader in Sacramento County.I just want to thank all of the Mustard Seed teachers that take time with our children, even because homelessness doesn't mean they should be left behind in school.
