My School: Our school is located in the heart of a district where residents have been stereotyped as unintelligent and naive. About 50% of our staff belong to this very district. This IS our home and we continuously strive to provide the BEST for our students. Our Students: Our students are the future. They take great pride in their culture, in their learning and their community. My Kindergarten Students: They are bright-eyed eager children who are starting to learn that reading IS fun and school is more than just alphabets and numbers. Their minds are like sponges and I want to take full advantage of soaking it up with all the knowledge they can hold.
