“Mrs. Krista Nunes is not only and incredible teacher she is an inspiration to all those around her.
Krista is fighting cancer and although it is doing it’s very best to keep her down and away from school she continues to show up because she genuinely loves what she does.

Krista inspires curiosity keeping our kids excited about the world around them. She goes above and beyond when teaching the kids new skills, especially when the new skills require much practice and patience.
She encourages them when they are trying their best, pushing them further when they have reached their goal, and redirecting them when they are not on the right path.”
