We believe in student responsibility and involvement reinforced through regular assessments, consistent homework, and feedback. We have high standards of expectations with recognition for student effort and achievement. We believe that development of student self-esteem, cooperative interactions, and positive problem solving skills are critical to student success.

I am working with the teachers in my local elementary school to raise the funds for digital projection in their classes.
Sandi Lewandowski
First Grade Teacher
Sandi Lewandowski has been an elementary school teacher since 1998. This year she transferred to Brook Knoll Elementary School in Scotts Valley, CA to begin her 12th year teaching first grade. When not teaching, Ms. Lewandowski can be found performing in local theatrical productions (her favorite past time) in the counties of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara. Sandi also has two lovely college-aged daughters both furthering their education in art. Ms. Lewandowski is excited to begin another year in first grade. Being hired to teach at Brook Knoll is a dream come true. It's close to where she grew up and to her extended family. It's a brand new beginning in a very special place!

Hello! I'm on a campaign to supply our classroom with a document camera and projector! There are endless ways that these pieces of technology can help our students! One way this will benefit us is by me having the ability to model work, using the same materials the students have! Please help our students get what they deserve to aid in their success!
