This year you and I become partners in an important adventure - the education of your child. It will be an exciting and challenging adventure but one with many rewards. I have high expectations for all of my students and I'm certain with your support, each and every child will meet or beat them. This year I will strive to make our classroom a safe, caring, and respectful community where children work hard, take good care of themselves, each other and our environment. With that in mind, you will discover that in our classroom social and academic learning are integrated throughout the day.
