Ms. Collentine believes ALL students are capable of success, no exceptions! Creating a safe, engaging environment for all students to learn is at the top of her priorities.  All students should have access to the general curriculum with the use of appropriate modifications and adaptations. The goal for her students is to learn how to be their healthiest by being physically active, eating healthy, learning good personal hygiene and creating positive relationships.
