Ultimately, I want our students to feel safe, loved, and accepted. I want to create a positive and loving classroom environment in order to help our incoming 6th graders adjust to not only a new school, but a new chapter in their lives.

I want to foster a love of reading and writing in the students so that they can continue to develop and grow during their time at Impact. I want all students to feel a strong sense of community, among staff, students, and both groups together.
