This is my first year teaching at Kramer Elementary School and my 10th year teaching total. I am very happy that I am coming over to Kramer Elementary to provide one of the best music education programs that I possibly can for these very deserving students. With this tough economy and struggle for education, support in the fine arts programs become peril. As a fine arts / music teacher, I pride myself in providing every musical opportunity for my students.
