Hello parents and students!

     Welcome back! If you don’t already know me, my name is Ms. Tricia and I have been working in Montessori schools for about 11 years now. I hold a Bachelors degree from Northern Arizona University and I am highly qualified in Elementary Education and Art. I also studied website design and computer management. Art has always been my favorite subject and I am so excited to get started on all our wonderful projects this year! To keep you all informed, I will be posting our upcoming quizzes and projects as well as a list of supplies we are in need of. Please don’t ever hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns. Thank you all for your continued support and interest in your child’s education.
