She is by far one of the best teachers today. She makes learning fun; she thinks for herself and doesn’t conform to society just because it’s the popular thing to do. She sticks to the learning basics and fundamentals and rewards good behavior but isn’t afraid to discipline if necessary. She truly has mastered the balance between friend and teacher to the students and she has earned a lot of respect from both parents and students. We need more teachers like her!

Mrs. Arnold is actually not a teacher she is support staff (Physical Education Aide) and Cheer Coach to 3td-5th grade. Mrs. Arnold greets my child every morning when I drop him off along with all the other families getting dropped off. So many children are excited to see her on a daily basis. My son looks forward to seeing her on Monday's and talking to Mrs. Arnold about his weekend. I have volunteered around the school myself and I see Mrs. Arnold going above and beyond for every student and teacher she works with. As a parent I look at support staff just as valuable as teachers. Mrs. Arnold is always enjoying the children and making them feel loved and safe. My son mentioned to me that she was coming into his classroom and working with children that needed extra help. My son has an IEP and she was meeting his meetings so not only is she the aide in PE she is always helping when school is short staffed on pushin minutes for other children.
