Mr. Horton
As a teacher my role is to foster a healthy community both inside and out of the classroom. I believe that every child should be cared and respected for. I believe that every child has an innate ability to learn, discover, and explore. I also believe that each child needs to be valued and given meaningful tasks that enrich their schooling experience and their world.
My hope is our that work together fosters a love of learning that your child will carry with them for many years outside of our class. My work with families and students has resulted in numerous recognitions and I’m proud of the community we have created.
