“My daughter, Sara Pool, attends Janie Stark Elementary in the Dual Language program; she just graduated Third Grade with Honors and ADVANCED STARR for both Reading and Math. We’ve been at Janie Stark since she started Kindergarten and we have loved all the teachers, principal and especial the Counselor, Mr. Caplin.
However, our teachers this year in Third were EXCEPTIONAL. Mrs. Martinez and Mrs. Chafin work so closely together and are EQUALLY EXCEPTIONAL. The communication they provided to us parents was by far outstanding over any other year. I’ve never witnessed such LOVE for their kids as they loved on our kids this year. They were not two separate classes, it was one BIG FAMILY, they even renamed their group to “Marfin” which is MAR for Mrs. Martinez and FIN for Mrs. Chafin.
They have left a lasting impression on our children and us parents. I cannot sing their praises enough. My daughter and I will surely mis s them next year, but I know Stark has fabulous teachers who are exceptional in their own rights…..but ********** stars for Mrs. Martinez and Mrs. Chafin. THANK YOU for being who you are and what you have done for our kids!” - KimberlyIson, Stark Elementary Parent
