Ms. Hayes

One of my greatest desires for my students is that they realize the relevancy of learning in their lives. I want them to embrace the opportunity to learn as a life-long treasure, to see the entire world as their classroom, and to honor every nation as their neighbor. Ever mindful of these things, my students will be better equipped to procure an enriching life and a more humane world. I firmly believe that as a teacher it is my privilege, and my responsibility, to facilitate this process by empowering all of my students to feel celebrated as capable consumers and producers of knowledge.
