We are a community of learners. I teach reading to 96 unique sixth graders. In my diverse Title 1 classroom, I make learning enjoyable for all of my students. I have a variety of learners that range from special needs to gifted. I provide a safe and comfortable learning environment for all my students. Our school is a Title 1 school that currently has 831 students in which 78% of them are on free/reduced lunch. Many of the students come from a struggling household or are living in a low-income/poverty environment. Acacia Elementary is a National Title 1 Distinguished School of Excellence and we are recognized as an Arizona Education Foundation A++ School of Excellence. We are faced with many different challenges, being a high poverty school, but together...Acacia can do ANYTHING. We are a very tight knit family of students and staff that strive for excellence and strive for only the best. Our students are very appreciative of anything and everything.
