He is highly respected by his peers and goes above and beyond for his students. He will go on to represent the school as a candidate for Duval County Teacher of the Year.

Reading Kick-off

Join the League of Extraordinary Readers

New Berlin Elementary kicked off its school wide reading campaign Wednesday, inviting students to join “The League of Extraordinary Readers” by reading one million words this school year!!! Students were asked to sign a pledge with their parents to meet their quarterly grade level goal, and those who do so the 1st nine weeks will receive a NBE Super Learner Dog Tag and then be able to earn paw print charms to add to their dog tag quarterly. To get students motivated, our friends from the Boosterthon Fun Run made this video, which was shown during the assemble program.
