It is my intention to be sincere and consistent in how I present myself each and every day so students will always know what is going to happen in our classroom. It is my belief that my faith in God helps me to live as a Christian and model that behvaior for each student. I value the trust that you have put in me and the St. Albert the Great faculty to be an example for your child’s life every day.
