Mission Statement:

It is my belief that all children are capable of learning if given the appropriate environment and motivation. Although every student possesses the capacity to learn, different learning strategies are employed by the students with varying degrees of success. Consequently, an assortment of teaching styles must be implemented in order to actively engage all students.
