Welcome to third grade at Lowell
Elementary in room 21! My name is
Ms. Klass and I am very excited to
have both you and your child in my
class this year. I am looking for a
successful and rewarding year for
us all.
I am native to Arizona. This is my
first full year as a certified teacher
in Mesa Public Schools. I possess a
B.A. in elementary education from
Arizona State University.
I believe that all children can learn
and learn in different ways. All
children need to feel safe and
supported within the classroom. I
feel that each child has something
unique to offer and I look forward
to working with you to help bring
out your child’s individuality.
Please feel free to contact me with
any questions.
Sincerely,
Ms. Klass
