3rd Grade!

Hi Third Grade Families,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 School year! This is my 15th year here at St. Charles and I am looking forward to another excellent year! I am originally from New York and moved here in 2010 after finishing my Master's Degree in New York in Special Education. I have my undergraduate degree in Childhood Education. I look forward to meeting everyone and having a wonderful school year!
