Teacher Biography:
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Mr. Eugene Budd and I will be your child's teacher for the 2024-2025 school year. I graduated from William Paterson University with a B.A. in Elementary Education and History. This is my twenty- fourth year at Birchwood School and I have taught second grade and third grade in the time that I have been here.
I am an avid league bowler and I also enjoy watching and playing most sports. My favorite teams are the Yankees, Giants, and Devils. As I get older I realize I can not play some of the sports I used to play! Therefore, I now appreciate hiking, the sea, and the beach. In closing I enjoy spending my free time in the Del Marva peninsula where most of my family live.
I am very excited to be part of this team; a team which consists of you, your child, and myself. I know if we work together we can make this a successful year! The most important goal I have is to help your child strive for their own personal excellence. I will help your child to experience success and feel good about her/his own special qualities.
My job as a facilitator is to develop enriching, engaging lessons that stretch the thinking of my students and provide a safe, welcoming, and exciting environment in which to learn the discipline for academic achievement.
It is important to me to have an open line of communication, so please feel free to contact me through written notes or e-mail as quickly as possible.
