I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with students in the primary grades.  I believe every student can learn and my goal is to facilitate their learning so they can reach their greatest potential. Please be assured that I am here to help you in any way I can. With your support, our scholars can become amazing readers this 2023-2024 school year!

Good Day Marlins!!!
