Ms. Priscilla Fox

Hello, welcome to Western Hills Elementary. My name is Mrs. Fox and I am thrilled that we will be spending this year together. Regarding my education, I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Studies with an emphasis on Family Development, with a Masters in Education, Certificate ec-6 General Education, Special Education and English Language Leaner. My heart lies with children that have more difficulty with learning. With that being said, every child can learn. It’s just a matter of how they learn. It makes everything worthwhile when we (together your child, you and I) can decipher which type of learning works best for your child and they begin to love learning. We all love to learn and succeed at what we are doing; my passion is seeing a child change from struggling everyday to looking forward to learning something new every day.
