I am proud of the way my students adapted to distance learning, persevered with their studies and maintained positive attitudes last year.

After work I like to play the piano, relax outside or spend time with my family and friends.

To get up in the morning and go to school I tell myself that I am ready to face the day ahead.

When I was a child I wanted to become a panda caretaker in China.

I am learning from kids be active, authentic, and dream big.

The school of the future is a multicultural community committed to creating an inclusive environment where all students feel welcome, respected, and valued.
