As an educator, my mission is to provide my students with a solid, educational foundation filled with meaningful learning experiences. I believe strongly that I can accomplish this mission by: Instilling in my students the joy and love of learning, by building in them the belief that every student has the ability to learn and accomplish goals, and by building strong study skills that can be used beyond the classroom. I believe that my duty and responsibility as a teacher is to encourage my students to perform at their true potential, and that through cooperation with parents and administrators, my mission and all of the beliefs therein can be realized.
