My Students

We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school. I have only just received my class list and started to get to know my students' names and faces.

My students are always ready to try something new and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day.

I want to grow with them!

Our school includes over sixty percent free or reduced-price lunch recipients. Together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

Although this year may look a little different whether in person, online, or a mix of both, I know we'll build our classroom community and become the family we always are.

My Project

This year has been different, challenging, and unique, but it has been amazing, building, and loving.

Every day our third-grade students come to learn in so many different ways.

They have taken the challenges that have been presented to them and thrived. We are so proud of all the hard work they have put in this year and how they have adapted and grown. We are so thankful to be in-person four days a week.

This fall, we tie-dyed shirts to build relationships and bonds in each classroom. We've been wearing masks for safety since this fall, and many students could use an extra or two for school now. How fun would it be to have a mask that matches our classroom tie-dye shirts?

The disinfecting wipes will continue to help us as we clean each day. Thank you for continuing to invest and in our classrooms and make an impact on our school year.
