Fabulous Football!

I had a fantastic job this weekend watching Reeths-Puffer PeeWee football!  It was great watching our cheerleaders and football players.  You all did an amazing job!

First Week!

Thank you so much for making our first week a success!  I feel privileged to spend each day with your child.  Our days could not run as smoothly and comfortably without your support at home!

This has been a very busy week with learning new schedules, procedures and expectations.  Teamwork has been our motto this week and I have noticed  confidence in my students increasing already!

Thank You!

It was so exciting meeting all of you at the open house!  Thank you so much for coming in to meet me.  I can not wait for tomorrow to begin.  We are going to have an awesome year and I am looking forward to getting to know each and everyone of you!  Enjoy your last day of summer vacation and have a fabulous Labor Day!
