Welcome!
Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.

A bit about Mrs. Alana Busekrus....
I am a mother of four daughters and a firm believer that parents are the primary educators of their children. As your child's third grade teacher, I support your efforts to help your child reach his or her potential. I believe all children---like all humans-- are uniquely gifted, each possessing special strengths that can be shared with others, in addition to areas of weakness that need improvement. In my classroom I strive to provide an environment in which children grow to love learning. In 3B students learn academic subjects in addition to learning spiritual, social, and emotional concepts that enrich the lives of self and others.
