Not only did they give their best to students, but they also have left an impression on me and have helped shape me into the person I am today. I am grateful for the many students and parents whom I’ve had the privilege of teaching and working with. They, too, have made a difference in my life. I am honored, excited, and humbled to be appointed as the Principal of Brookside Elementary and look forward to joining the staff, parents, students, and stakeholders in providing a high quality education to every student, every day.”
