When I grow up, I have a goal to be a veterinarian. My teachers help me learn about animals so that I will be ready for my future job. I enjoy reading books the most. My favorite books are Junie B. Jones because she is very similar to me. My school is special because of all the fun things we do. My teacher, Mrs. Ratliff, makes learning fun by teaching me about moon phases with oreos and then she lets us eat them!

Chinquapin is a small school with a big heart. Students know they’re loved from the moment they walk in our doors and that encourages and enables them to learn!DCS feels like home - this small community boasts strong roots! Students see adults who once learned in the same classrooms where they sit now, go on to lead and succeed. I've been blessed to work with student-leaders to form the COM Squad. They take charge of school communication and events ranging from pep rallies to Read Across America week. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our COM Squad!
