In 5 years: As a professional responsibility, I would like to communicate better with families, through sending out a newsletter at the
beginning of the year and at the end of every month with updates and upcoming dates, along with posting activities on school site, as a
sense of better communication; doing this consistently at the end of my fifth-year teaching.

School Community Contributions: I would love to be a part of a school team, whether its through head coaching or assistant coaching,
in either basketball or rugby. Also, participating in helping student council come up with ideas and events would be something I would
like to participate in after 3 or 4 years of teaching.
