Welcome to first grade. Once again the doors are opened for the children who thirst for knowledge. I am very happy to have your child in my class this year. The key ingredients for a successful year in first grade are love, respect, kindness, organization skills, personal responsibility, hard work and cooperation. I am looking forward to working with you in the best interest of your child. Together we can make a difference! May God bless you. “Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses.”
