Vivian’s Pledge was created in 2002 after a series of events that occurred throughout the 2001, 2002 and 2003 school years. After over 20 years, many teachers still have a poster of the pledge in their room, but almost no students know what it is.

What was your favorite childhood TV show? Little Einsteins or Dinosaur Train
What is your favorite book? I really liked The Things They Carried, but that’s a hard question as always
What motivates you? Being able to meet new people and share their stories, helping their voices be heard through our publication, a platform they may not otherwise have if not for us. That really gets me motivated every day.
