It is my privilege to serve as a Third Grade Teacher at  Highlands Elementary School. "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" is a quote from Frederick Douglass. I am happy to partner with parents in each child's academic success that is placed under my care. Because I am also a mother of two children, of whom I am very proud, I am doubly reminded of the importance of building a child's confidence and skill and nurturing their individual gifts and talents.
