Emma doesn’t just teach—she inspires and is relentless in finding what works to create a spark that starts a habit that leads to mastery. Our children were not only inspired and challenged, but more importantly they developed a healthy internal belief that they can succeed with practice. The foundation of her philosophy and never ending desire to reinvent a new approach to teaching is evident in every aspect of her being. Whether it’s creating an amazing environment, field trips for motivation, or reworking her own curriculum, Emma is always striving to make her students better than the day before. She is honest , loving and a special person that our children admire and aim to please..

Today our kids learned about oysters and how their farms are a sustainable and green industry. Oysters help improve sediment quality by loosening and dispersing silt and muck, which helps to add oxygen to bottom waters and sediments—they are considered to be “the vacuum cleaners” of the water. Oysters can filter 100 gallons of seawater in a single day as part of their natural feeding process.
