Dear Families:

This will be my eighth year as an educator and my first year at Garner Middle School.  I am thrilled to be working at Garner and already feel part of an outstanding team.  As the English Langugae Arts instructor, I will develope meaningful and engaging lessons on a daily basis.  Students will explore a variety of texts, break down vocabulary, utilize grammar, and become avid writers.  Regardless of the extra steps required for distance learning, I am confident we will have an impactful year.  I look forward to meeting each and every one of you.  Thank you.
