Vernon Elementary School

My name is Latisha Keeffe, and I love working at Vernon Elementary School! I am a Vernon native and attended VES as a 6th grader in Ms. Cooper's class. My passion is working to make all students authentically included in the school environment and active/engaged participants in their learning.
