Note To Parents
Welcome to the new school year! I hope all of you enjoyed your summer. As this school year begins, I want you to know that I consider it an honor to serve as your child’s teacher. I am genuinely proud to work in a school with such high expectations and positive attitudes. Because I will be spending so much time with your child, I’d like to take the opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself.
I was born and raised in Plainville, Kansas. I received my B.S. in Elementary Education and a minor in Special Education at Fort Hays State University. I am currently working on my Masters Degree for Reading Specialist. This is my seventh year at Natoma Elementary, and I am very happy to be close to my hometown and working in this school district! I have been married to my husband, Rod, for almost 5 years. I have a 15-year-old stepdaughter, Brianna, a 3-year-old daughter, Lanie, and a 6-month-old daughter, Lia.
I anticipate this school year to be exciting, as well as productive. Natoma Elementary is a quality school, with dedicated workers and excellent programs. Because of this, I have high expectations for each child. In order for children to become quality producers, effective communicators, complex thinkers, collaborative workers, self-directed learners, and community contributors, it will take dedication and hard work from all of us. I believe your child has a great deal to offer to our classroom, and will have fun along the path of learning!
