I am excited to be working with your students this school year. Moving up with the fourth graders to fifth grade has me ready for new opportunities and challenges.
I have been working in the Erie School District for the past 15 years. One of my goals is to get all students to strive for things that they felt were impossible. With determination, dedication, grit, and a lot of effort, all students can and will grow in their education.
This year, our building is taking on a growth mindset approach to learning. Just because the student struggles with a concept now does not mean they cannot be successful in the future. The power of YET is a wonderful reminder of how this year will be for all students. I look forward in working with all students this year as we prepare them for the transition into middle school.
