My students are some of the most wonderful children you will meet! Our school is in the lowest demographic area and serves second language learners. Some even come to me from shelters. They all have challenges, but all are on their way towards success! These students are hard working and curious, and enjoy Reading and STEAM! Stop in our room any time and you will find a myriad of science investigations and discoveries in the process. I am honored and blessed to be their teacher, and I am grateful for you for your consideration in helping me to provide for my children. Thank you.
