Dear First Grade Families,
I hope you all had a great weekend! We made it to your last “Peek at the Week”! Thank you again for your flexibility and kindness as I joined Holy Trinity at the craziest time of the school year. I have loved getting to know each of your children and I have enjoyed my short time with them. I am so proud of their hard work and perseverance finishing the school year, and you should be too! Please continue to read and practice first grade skills with your child over the summer!
I will be returning to Holy Trinity next year as the first grade teacher. I know I have big shoes to fill from Mrs. Fritz and all her incredible work she has done in this school over the years. I can’t wait to see your kid’s smiling faces in the halls! :) I wish you all a wonderful summer!

¡Espero que todos hayan tenido un excelente fin de semana! ¡Llegamos a nuestro último “Vistazo de la Semana”! Gracias nuevamente por su flexibilidad y amabilidad mientras me incorporaba a Holy Trinity en una de las épocas más ocupadas del año escolar. Me ha encantado conocer a cada uno de sus hijos y he disfrutado muchísimo mi tiempo con ellos. Estoy muy orgullosa de todo su esfuerzo y perseverancia para terminar el año escolar, ¡y ustedes también deberían estarlo! Por favor, continúen leyendo y practicando habilidades de primer grado con sus hijos durante el verano.
Regresaré a Holy Trinity el próximo año como maestra de primer grado. Sé que tengo grandes zapatos que llenar después de todo el increíble trabajo que la Sra. Fritz ha realizado en esta escuela a lo largo de los años. ¡No puedo esperar para ver las sonrisas de sus hijos en los pasillos! :)
¡Les deseo a todos un maravilloso verano!
