"I believe every child is entitled to an excellent education. I believe that teaching is my calling and therefore my responsibility; I make it my priority to try and instill the tools necessary for learning into each child who comes into my classroom. It is my expectation and my hope that parents and/or guardians make their child’s education a priority as well, with an emphasis on strong study habits and attendance."
