Dear Parents:

My name is Mary Kowalski, and I will be your child’s teacher this year. I hope you had a wonderful Summer. I am very excited to be back to school! The students are so polite and kind, and they already have been working very hard! I have a few announcements: Please send a healthy snack and a water bottle with your child each day. Make sure that students have gym shoes on every Wednesday for Gym. I would love to have some parent helpers for Math Workshop. Please let me know if you would be willing to help.
