A Teacher Who Goes Above and Beyond

"Mr. C (as everyone calls him) is amazing with all of the students at all grade levels. He always goes above and beyond to include all kids and makes sure that everyone is having fun. My son looks forward to his gym class every week. He also puts a lot of effort every year into organizing the annual sixth-grade class basketball game against the staff. We always appreciate his efforts." —Kristi Mendoza

A Community Favorite

"Mr. C has been my daughter's PE teacher since first grade. She is now in sixth grade. He always finds a way to engage and motivate the kids. He has such amazing energy and humor. You can tell he loves what he does. During COVID, he even Zoomed with the kids and dressed up as different personas to get them moving and motivated to learn P.E. topics. The sixth-grade basketball staff vs. students game is a favorite event of the town!" — Sarah Chase, parent
