MISSION STATEMENT
I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to
grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire, as an educator, to help students
meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a
sharing of ideas. I am passionate about Social Studies education; in it is the power to help young people make informed
and independent decisions about the world around them.
