Ms. Ephraim leads with her heart and radiates passion in order for each child to reach their fullest potential. To ensure that students and families have what they need to succeed, she puts into effect her can-do attitude and positive spirit which helps to create programs like “YES-You’re Extra Special” to empower girls and provide them with positive role models.
