Hello, my name is Mrs. Mia Low. I am very excited to be part of the Manuel Jara family. I have a husband and one son – Jason. I have previously taught at Lake Worth, which is a very small district. I am thrilled to be part of the Fort Worth ISD district which is large and progressive. I believe that all children are unique and distinctive. My desire is to create a safe, respectful environment where they can reach their full potential. Providing opportunities for discussion, sharing, and authentic learning help a child to reach higher levels of thinking.
