This is your teacher Mrs. Rowley. I believe that I was born to teach, and motivate young people to strive for their dreams. It is your responsibility to make the committment to succeed. Parents, I implore you to always encourage your child/children to be the best that they can be. I strongly believe that together with Gods  help, this year will be great!

My theme is: "Maximize Your Potential! We Are Stars!"

I am the Fifth Grade Homeroom Teacher. It is very important that you commit yourselves to reading at least half an hour per day. It would surprise you to see the difference it makes in your written and oral communication skills. Remember, "Knowledge is Power."
