My Students

I love living and teaching in our small town. I am now teaching the children of some of my former students. It is fun to see how my students have grown and have become successful adults.

Our school is a family.

We treasure each family represented at our school. We have a large percentage of ESL families at our school. We work hard to foster a positive home-school connection with all families. We celebrate each other's successes and offer encouragement when someone is struggling. We care about each student who attends our school as well as those who have attended in past years.

My Project

Shhhh....Let me tell you a secret. The best way to get parents to come to school is to let their child perform! Whether it is singing, dancing or acting, we get a better parent turn-out when children are performing.

Our school has no auditorium or gymnasium to hold programs in.

Just yesterday we had our end of the year Kindergarten Celebration on the front steps of the school. Our students dis a great job but our program would have been better with a decent speaker system. We said a quick prayer every time we had to pause the music for a speaking part.

This Gemini speaker came highly recommended by a music teacher I admire. Not only would be be used for our kindergarten program but by other grade levels throughout the year. Often our awesome PE teacher uses music outside. This speaker is portable and rechargeable!

Please help us be heard. This new speaker will benefit every student in our school.
