Mrs. Cunningham’s Story Kentridge High School University of Washington - a degree in business Eastern Washington University in 2005 This is my 9 th year of teaching
My Family… Married for almost 21 years Lived in Enumclaw for 17 years Our daughters are 17 and almost 16 and go to EHS.
I believe… Every child can learn and be successful in the classroom Students should have choice In teaching students to be independent, to make decisions for themselves, and to solve problems on their own, when appropriate. In teaching respect. In setting high expectations and pushing students to reach the goals they set for themselves. In teaching perseverance.
