Who is Stacey Bess?


Stacey Bess is a teacher that had to go through a lot in her first teaching assignment. She started teaching at The School with No Name, located in a small shed behind a community homeless shelter. She taught Kindergarten through sixth grade to children with no homes. Stacey can remember many times having frightened children tucked into bed with her in the middle of the night. Nobody Don't Love Nobody is a book written based on her story. The book also inspired the Hallmark Hall of fame movie "Beyond the Blackboard." Stacey has been through so many challenges that I feel I wouldn't be able to do as good as she has done. I'm happy to know that there are still teachers that are willing to help the poor as much as she did.
