My school is located in the inner city of Milwaukee. I work with a variety of students with special needs. I also believe every child in the school is the responsibility of every teacher. In order for our students to become their best possible selves, our staff works together to support every child whether or not they are in our own classroom. Our students are simply wonderful people with a large variety of obstacles they have to face every day. They face obstacles in the community, obstacles academically and our district faces financial obstacles. Any supports, tools and experiences we can provide for our students helps create a learning environment that helps our students become their best selves.
