Philosophy of Education
I believe students flourish in a positive classroom environment where they feel a sense of place, safety, and belonging. Christian values should be present in the classroom environment and embedded in daily instruction, just as Christ is ever-present in our lives.

Creating meaningful experiences in the classroom through active engagement and relevant dialog is important, as is practice and peer-to-peer collaboration. I believe that curriculum-rich lessons that promote movement, technology, and exploration encourages students to approach learning in a positive way.

What is your favorite thing about St. Martha Catholic School?
I love the sense of community! St. Martha School and Church and our community is a wonderful place to live, work, learn, and pray.
