Wow! You wanted to be a LIBRARIAN?! That’s so cool! Of course, I know you love children’s books. You use them so much when you’re teaching. What an inspiration!! We know how much you love to teach! It shows on your face each and every day!

Mrs. Alger is so awesome! She gives us so many opportunities to learn about art. She lets us do the coolest projects such as making puppets, metal engravings, and she’s even taking the 4th grade class to the Walters Art Museum to see a mythology exhibit.
