Support Mrs. Balba's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
This is my 8th year teaching and I've taught 2nd, 3d, 4th, and 5th grade. As a senior sales and marketing executive with 20 years accomplished career track, I have made a move to education. I have always loved to teach and make a difference for kids. It is my personal mission to inspire, empower and support elementary students to reach their greatest potential. I believe children learn differently, but all children are able to learn and do their best. I believe in small classroom victories every day as they encourage to go further and achieve more. I believe in providing a safe and positive learning environment so that students are looking forward to the next school day. And most important, I believe in every child's ability to learn well and succeed in life.
