Welcome Letter

Welcome to Fourth Grade 

Dear Fourth Graders and Families, 

Welcome to fourth grade!  I hope you are enjoying your final days of summer! I am Lindsay Gallagher, your child's fourth grade reading and writing teacher for the 2023-2024 school year. Your child is in my homeroom class, and I will teach them in the morning. Mr. McDevitt will be their math, science, and social studies teacher in the afternoon.  I am so excited to get to know your child, provide meaningful and engaging lessons, and help them grow throughout the year. We are going to have a great year together as a school family!

This will be my seventeenth year teaching, and my ninth year at Pine Road Elementary. I have taught both third grade and fourth grade during my teaching career. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from West Chester University and my Master’s Degree from Goucher College. I am also a certified Reading Specialist. I have two children. My son Hunter is entering 6th grade this year, and my daughter Riley is starting 3rd grade. When I am not teaching, I love playing with my kids, spending time with my friends and family, reading, eating, and relaxing in the pool!
