Chris is a super fan of Academy School and 5th graders. She found her niche 15 years ago, and may never graduate from 5th grade. In her classroom she emphasizes the importance of community and relationship and uses this as the foundation for creating a safe learning environment where kids can take risks, make mistakes and learn.

Chris graduated from Stonehill College and earned her master’s degree from Sacred Heart University.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. -African proverb
