Tori twinning with a student “Growing up in FCPS, I didn't have many classmates that looked like me," says Tori Huynh, a second grade teacher at Camelot Elementary School. "Now as a second grade teacher, I have the opportunity to be a mirror and window for my students. I strive to foster a welcoming classroom environment that affirms students' identities!”
