Bedell is a wonderful school located in Santa Paula, CA that is dedicated to its students. We have over 300 students ranging from Transitional Kinder to Fifth Grade. My students see my classroom as a second home. They treat each other with respect. Teaching my students how to be responsible and learning to use manners is a big part of my classroom. I want my students to grow up to become successful and respected adults.
