A Second Great Waterloo Elementary School

One of the many responsibilities of Lead Teacher and Waterloo Education Association President Kathi Latta is to work with fourth graders on Math. Here Mrs. Latta works with a 4th grader on division with remainders. After Math class when the students moved on to Music class, Mrs. Latta gave me a tour of the facility.


As we traveled throughout Cunningham, we stopped in 2nd grade Mr. Jeff Ferguson's all-male-classroom. Jeff is pictured here with WEA president Kathi Latta. I remembered Jeff's classroom when I visited Cunningham in the fall of 2004. He has committed to the students and community to continue leading this class of boys through their 5th grade year. The gender specific classrooms are just one of the strategies Cunningham staff have implemented to help close the achievement gap. Great things are happening at Cunningham Elementary because of dedicated professionals like Kathi Latta and Jeff Ferguson!
