My Students

"We are here to learn!" That is our classroom motto because it covers every aspect of school success. We are a community where everyone teaches and everyone learns so that everyone wins.

My students are individuals who learn to believe in themselves through critical thinking and problem-solving.

They experience success and refine their ideas in a safe, supportive environment. Our charter school's mission is student-centered learning, and we pride ourselves on meeting students where they are. I teach the whole child with hands-on learning through real-life, self-directed, and relevant experiences. My students are members of our school's unique culture. They take pride in positively representing themselves, their families, their teachers, ​and our school community. They are caring and compassionate people who work hard for individual success, but also focus on personal integrity and responsibility. The tradition of developing better ways to teach children is at the heart of our school. We believe that children learn best in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. Our students thrive in a student-led, teacher-guided educational experience.

My Project

Safco Zenergy Runtz ball chairs help keep kids moving because they provide an active seating experience that encourages good posture, core muscle strength, ​and increased concentration.

Zenergy Runtz ball chairs encourage better posture.

They are designed with four powder coated legs and stationary glides for stability and durability. They offer the posture benefits of a yoga ball without the rolling. These benefits include better balance and concentration.

Zenergy Runtz ball chairs have a low profile design and weigh only 11 lbs. These ball chairs move easily from place to place. Their anti-burst ball design supports up to 250 lbs. Their low profile allows them to fit neatly under work surfaces when not in use.
