Welcome to 8th grade. I am excited about the opportunity to work with your child this school year. I look forward to assisting your child in his/her classes as well as helping them grow academically. I believe in hard work and perseverance. I also believe that every child can achieve their goals if they apply hard work and perseverance. I take it upon myself to help the students by encouraging, challenging and holding each student accountable for their effort and hard work. They will have a great year and you will see it in the growth.
