From Ms. Brooks…

I feel incredibly blessed and excited to be teaching with Shady Oak Primary’s team of master administrators and teachers for several years now. I absolutely love Shady Oak Primary’s relentless commitment to children’s success in all aspects of learning. This school is outstandingly true to its philosophy, and I really sees students benefit because of it. They learn through discovery, they build confidence, they gain important values, they learn collaboration skills, and they learn to see themselves and others as valuable, kind people who have the power to make a difference.

I believe my primary purpose as a teacher is to plant seeds in students’ lives that will help them to grow into capable, contributing, and kind adults.
