Welcome to 2026.
It was so awesome meeting all of you on the first day and getting to know something about each of you. I am really excited about our learning journey together.
I will:
foster a safe and positive learning environment where students are not only building relationships with me, but also with each other.
It is my goal:
to challenge my students daily, with learning that is meaningful, engaging, and purposeful.
