Eldorado Emerson provides a family atmosphere, for both students and teachers. I get to know the students and watch them grow since I have them every year. The Monet Garden is a place where students learn science and draw, or just rest and contemplate nature. Dr. Ludwick is a "living national treasure!" People in Japan that are masters in their field are often designated this.
Describe a memory or favorite
story about Eldorado Emerson:
Taking 40 students to Mexico with Mrs. Maruffo, and 25 students to New York with Miss Coffin. Designing and building the Monet Garden with the students. Watching students develop and create their own ideas and being able to participate in facilitating - this is a special gift.
