Greetings:
 
My name is Mrs. Smith, and I am thrilled to be part of the staff at AMS Desert Sky, teaching 4th Grade English Language Arts and Social Studies. Having taught on different grade levels in different states, as well as working in the corporate world, has given me a unique perspective on education.  Our team is eager to work with students at AMS to help them reach their educational potential.
