Welcome to Kindergarten at Trinity Catholic Academy.  I am looking forward to learning and growing with your child. I will spend time encouraging positive social interactions, helping them to become more independent during the school year, and nurturing a classroom of respectful and caring children.  You will see your child grow in his/her faith and blossom into a reader and writer in addition to building many math skills.  We will also explore several topics in science and social studies.  I enjoy having fun in the classroom, but also know the importance of creating a structured and organized learning environment.

Thank you for entrusting your child to me and Trinity Catholic Academy.
