Sara makes reading fun for her students and is always looking for ways to help those who may be struggling. She has a great concern for her students and they know she thinks they are special. I really enjoy trying to help her and her students two mornings a week. Molino Park has great teachers and staff. Thank you Sara for your hard work.
