We understand that the time to do things is NOW, that the most important ONES are the people we are with, and that we should HELP the one’s we are with whenever appropriate and possible (Muth,The Three Questions).
We do our best to be ENCOURAGING, CREATIVE, and to be full of QUESTIONS. We show sensitivity by HONORING one another’s ideas, space, and work. We keep our learning environment clean, organized, and FLEXIBLE. Above all else, we have FUN while learning TOGETHER and MAKING OUR MARK on the world.
