Building a Lasting Community Within the Classroom
As a teacher, it is my job to ensure that all of my students come to school each day feeling safe and excited to learn. I strive to build a community within my classroom, as well as through the entire school.
Providing Students the Unlimited Ability to Succeed
My philosophy of education is that all children have the unlimited ability to succeed.
Inspiring My Passion for Science & Teaching

Thankful for Our School

Helping Students Develop a Love of Learning

Giving Back with Help from My Guidance Counselor
My Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Lewis, takes time to help everyone with their needs. Even though she is extremely busy she will do anything you need. Like recently I wanted to open a club to help others that are less fortunate in the community and now our club, the Human Relations Committee, consists of 17 members in the group.
