Welcome to Third Grade!  My name is Jennifer Pappas and I am so happy to have your child in my class this year.  Third grade is an awesome year filled with so many fun activities, new responsibilities, and exciting learning opportunities.   I am looking forward to a wonderful 2025-2026 school year!

I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you a little bit about myself.  This will be my 24th year of teaching, of which 21 years have been in a third grade classroom.  I am a proud Archdiocese of Baltimore graduate!   I had the privilege of attending Immaculate Conception School and Towson Catholic High School. Then I headed right down the street to Towson University for my undergraduate (B.S. in Elementary Education)  and graduate program (M. Ed. in Reading Education).  

On a personal note, my husband, John, and I have two wonderful children.  Krista is a freshman at Towson University and Katie is a 10th grader at Hereford High School.  When I'm not teaching, I love to read, travel, shop, and spend time with my family. 

Please never hesitate to contact me with any concerns or questions you may have about your child.  Email is the easiest form of communication for me.  However, you can also reach me by phone or a quick note sent in with your child.
