Yates Elementary School; second grade

"Children deserve the best education we can possibly provide. It is a teacher’s job to ensure they are ready to move to the next level, whether it is the next book, grade, graduation or a job. With a strong foundation, high expectations and a positive learning environment, all children will be able to succeed at the next level. I want my students to be confident about their abilities, to provide them with as many opportunities for scholarship as possible and to help them develop a life-long love of reading and learning. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with each and every one of my students and their families."
