About

Each Session we will be reading a few chapters from "Summer of the Mariposas". "Summer of the Mariposas" by Guadalupe Garcia McCall follows the journey of five Mexican-American sisters who find a dead body in the Rio Grande and decide to return it to its family in Mexico. Their adventure is filled with magical realism, supernatural encounters, and challenges that test their bond. It's a story about sisterhood, resilience, and the power of family, blending Mexican folklore with contemporary themes. If you enjoy tales of myth and family ties, this book is worth checking out. 📖✨

View Profile

Hi, I’m Christopher! I’m passionate about music (especially playing the trombone in concert band), nonviolence advocacy, and inspiring the next generation through education. I’m working toward a future career in elementary teaching because I believe every student deserves support, encouragement, and opportunities to succeed. At Schoolhouse, I tutor in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, History, and Computer Science. I’m also a Senior Tutor in Reading/Writing and Enrichment, a Tutor Host helping other tutors grow, and a Dialogue Club President, where I lead discussions that bring students together from around the world. Outside of Schoolhouse, I enjoy creative writing (I’ve even been published!), exploring science and astronomy, and composing music. Leadership and service are important to me—I’ve helped launch student-led organizations promoting inclusion, safety, and community wellness. I believe in lifelong learning, curiosity, and creating safe spaces where people can grow. I’m excited to keep learning with you here at Schoolhouse!
