December 2024 Faces of FACCES: Sharice Whittington-Biko
This month, we would like to highlight Sharice Whittington-Biko and her children, Izarah and Yasir, as our Faces of FACCES. Sharice is from Columbus, Ohio, and has two children, Izarah and Yasir. She recently completed an Ages and Stages Questionnaire for Yasir and utilizes all the resources available through FACCES’ K Ready Ohio program, as she is passionate about being her children’s first and best teacher. Sharice shared how she has posted notes on the walls with 2- and 3-letter words and even bought a scale to work on math problems, all to support Yasir’s readiness.
She also really enjoyed FACCES November Family Gathering. Sharice loves to cook and does meal prep on Sundays for the whole week. The fresh produce available at the event was put to good use in breakfast tacos and salads. She even turned to the internet for recipe inspiration to make sure she used everything efficiently.
Sharice shared that Yasir’s birthday is coming up, and they are planning a trip to Universal Studios. She is excited to see her children’s reactions, as they have never flown before. The timing of their trip is perfect, as it is after the December Family Gathering—she didn’t want to miss it!
Sharice hopes for her children to be healthy, happy, and successful. She wants them to know that they can be whatever they want to be, as long as they are willing to work hard for it.
