I love teaching art to my wonderful Rose students. Not only do I get to inspire them, but they inspire me as well. They make me want to work harder, be a better person, and achieve more every year.

I love teaching kindergarten because the children come to school with a "blank slate" and I get to be a part of their first school experience. Rose School is a wonderful place to learn and grow! Once a stingray, always a stingray!Jen WessbergTeacher
I am grateful and honored to be teaching in such a wonderful school. Whether you are a student or staff member, you have a strong sense of belonging at Rose. I am proud to see how our school community helps support each other to meet the needs of our children."Kim RyderTeacher
