My Students

I teach a marvelous class of excited and eager to learn 5th graders. We work together to create strong leaders through our Leader and Me Program so our fifth graders can prepare for further education and life's ongoing journey.

As a class, we work together to create a safe and engaging classroom where everyone has a friend and feels at home within our school.

Our school mission is to help students experience success by teaching them to think critically, connect socially, and serve selflessly. Our vision is to deliver the most individualized learning experience for K-12 students in the state of Utah. Students are challenged and given the support they need to achieve their goals as they progress towards higher education.

My Project

Due to the affects of COVID-19 many students reading scores have fallen because they did not have access to a reading book at home. Many of my students have either struggled with obtaining books or have been afraid to read something new.

This year for Christmas I want to give each of my children a personally selected book just for them.

Books have been selected based on each child's level and interest, so that if school closures happen again they will have a book of their own to read and cherish.
