"I became a teacher because I love to see a child light up when they discover that they have achieved something great. I want to see all my students have this moment in their lives and if I can help them get there that is even better. I believe that it is this moment that helps a child love to learn and that is the ultimate goal."

My primary goals as a teacher are to create a classroom where every child: feels welcome, feels safe, and develops a life-long love of learning. Seeing students that love coming to school, see school as a safe place where they can be successful academically, and build important social connections are the foundational building blocks of my daily teaching practice.

"My goal as a teacher is to create a space where each child is able to grow as learners and know that they are cared for. I strive to build connections with each student and to instill a love of learning because when that happens, then the real growth can begin! With building those connections students know that our class is not just a class, but we are a class family. A family who helps each other, cheers for each other, and grows together."

"My goal as an early childhood educator is to create a classroom environment that is kind, fun and engaging. My favorite quote that I live by in the classroom is, 'if you can be anything in the world, be kind.' I want every student that walks into my classroom, to know that it is a place where they are loved, safe, and able to take chances."

Mrs. Cole earned her Teacher Certification (K-8) and her BA from Plymouth State University with minors in Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry.

"I LOVE technology and enjoy problem-solving when things aren't going as planned. My other favorite subjects are Math and Science. I love teaching, especially here at SFCS because I can see the impact we make on the students almost immediately. The programs we use definitely are efficient and the ones that aren't are quickly switched out for the newest proven techniques out there. The staff, students and families here are wonderful, and I enjoy every moment I have with them.”

Mrs. Dupuis graduated from Granite State College with a BA in Elementary Education (K-6) as well as a certification in General Special Education (K-12). She is very excited to be joining the SF team this year as the new Language Arts and Social Studies teacher for 5th grade. One of her favorite sayings, "It's a good day to have a good day!", captures her teaching philosophy nicely as she believes that learning occurs best in a positive and upbeat environment.
