Education is the key to a successful future.
This is my goal for the students of Quitman St. School and my 3rd Graders. I enjoy learning new things, I actually yearn for it. I hope to instill in your children the same desire for education that I bring into the classroom.
As a lifelong resident of Newark, I want to see the students of my city become the next doctors, teachers, scientists, nurses, men, and women of our future. I hope to have a very successful year with you and your children and I look forward to working with you.
