My Project

I must say that I have some awesome students. These students have grown in so many areas of maturity throughout their middle school years. They have faced some difficult obstacles and have been able to rise above all of them. They are becoming more confident in themselves and know they really have people that care about their success.

Our students come for all different cultural backgrounds and I try to show respect for all of them by providing them with tools and resources they need.

The students can count on me to try to find solutions to any concerns they may have and if I can't I point them in the right direction. I have learned a lot through and from these students, and for that I am thankful.
