Mrs. Edwards

I am very excited to be a part of the John Paul II family and welcoming your child into my classroom. This is my 27th year teaching. For the past twelve years, I have been a first grade teacher. 

Children explore the world with excitement and wonder. I am thrilled that I get to be a part of that journey. First grade is a very important year for developing skills that will be carried with them throughout the future. I can hardly wait to see what the year has in store for us!
