Dear Parents/Guardians,

            Welcome to a remarkable new school year at Sauk Elementary School.  I am looking forward to working with you to ensure your child’s academic progress.  I am pleased to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you and welcome your child to my class.  This will be my 13th year at Matteson School District 162, yet my 3rd year at Sauk Elementary School.  I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from St. John’s University (New York), a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Chicago State University, and most recently an Educational Specialist Degree (Ed. S), in Administration and Supervision.   Lastly, I LOVE TEACHING!  I believe an excellent learning experience is based on a cooperative effort among parents, child, teacher, staff, and community.  I look forward to the work and growth we will all accomplish this year.
