I am very happy to be teaching at Sonoran Science Academy. I really enjoy my students and I think every one of them is precious like a pearl. Our students at SSA are representatives of great intellectual, kindness and are role models for other schools. We are proud to be a diverse community. Here you can see results of the survey that we conducted in the beginning of the year: 

There were 51 students in the beginning of the year, 27 (or 53%) are boys, and 24 (47%).Forty two of our students are age 9, while four are 8 years old and five are 10 years old. Altogether they have 57 brothers and 47 sisters. Arizona was the most common state with 31 students. There are two students from Pennsylvania and there is one student of each of these states: Texas, Washington, California, Californian, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Colorado.
