Many of you already know me, because I have been here for such a long time. My name is Susan Will and I have been teaching all over Norman Cook for over 20 years. I have now settled into Room 5, teaching Grade 2/3. I am super excited to begin a new year, in a new classroom, with new students! It is going to be an awesome year!
