My Students
We feel igniting the abilities of our customers is essential, for motivation often instills a passion for learning. I recognize the need to nurture a growth mindset in the lives of kids; it's what educators do.
We know our community of bright, eager young people shall always deserve a rich selection of books for independent reading. Likewise access to literature spurs joy, conversation, and often great writing! Thus we create "wonder" and in doing so serve the unique needs of youngsters! Our school is full of such deserving boys and girls.
My Project
If words and ideas can change the world for the better, many books in the hands of pupils must become a reality. Every time we see youngsters pour over beautiful stories and excitedly share their thoughts about them, "words do change the world!"
Nothing is more essential than providing young people with the support and means to dream; daily access to books is non negotiable!
Books that include beautifully illustrated Caldecott winners, Newberry's that honor the finest children's books, and titles our students ask for and wish to read? This is the variety of stories we must offer to support youth during their elementary school years; sending children beyond our building with healthy reading and learning appetites is essential.
