I am so happy to be here at Troup Elementary teaching 1st grade.  I love the younger ones.  They are always eager to learn and very excited about school.  My goal is that your child will love the gift of reading.  Reading is a big part of 1st grade.  Your child will grow not only physically but academically.  Please feel free to contact me about any concerns you may have.  I want this year to be wonderful, fun and academically challenging for all my students.
