Letter from Principal: 

Myke Zimmerman is a teacher that rarely has discipline issues in his classroom because his students respect him.  They also don't want to risk being removed from the room because then they would miss out on the day's activities.  He pushes the students to learn and be excited about what they are learning.  We are lucky to have him in our district.
