Welcome to a new school year! It was wonderful to see everyone at open house. I hope everyone is finally settling in. This is my fourth year teaching fifth grade at Prairieview, previously I taught Language Arts and Reading for five years at Lakeview. I had a great summer with my sons Jonathan (4yrs), and Tomas (2yrs). We had a lot of fun, but are looking forward to the fall, and football season. (Go Bears!)
