    Ms. Rivera

    The future of our society is based on our ability to change and grow. The skills and knowledge required in the future must enable citizens to make a change in stride. In order to thrive in this atmosphere, every student will need to achieve these goals: be a creative problem-solver, a lifelong learner, and an effective communicator. Each student must also know how to use and understand technology, work efficiently in group situations, and be a responsible and involved citizen. In order for the student to be prepared, we must teach these skills and knowledge at all levels of education, especially in Middle School.
