Michelle Getherall
Technology Teacher
Kaif is an extremely bright, friendly, and confident young man. He was a student in my international business class and I am able to see how bright Kaif is as a student. This class is not leveled however it is heavily economics-based which can be difficult for students. Kaif does extremely well and has an excellent natural ability for business.
