Welcome back to a new school year! The summers go very quickly and before you know it, we are back to school. I would like to thank you for the support you have provided the staff and me.

As we approach the 2015-2016 school year, I would like to inform you of some changes. This year, classes will be self-contained. This means that flexible grouping will be done in the classrooms, and students will not transfer to a literacy block teacher. Our school improvement team found that we were losing some valuable instructional time during changing of classes, and the flexible grouping within the classroom will be a priority this school year.

We also have a few staff changes. Ms. Alma Davis (White) will be teaching 2nd grade this year. Mrs. Kelly Embert will be teaching 2nd

"It takes a village to raise a child," said Hillary Clinton. We want our community of learners to be ready for college and the 21st Century workforce. The face of education is evolving. Students need to be effective communicators, as well as, scientifically, mathematically, and technologically literate in order to answer complex questions and investigate global issues. We have a challenge that we can accomplish! Let's pull together and make sure we do all we can do for our children!! I will see you soon!

County High School. He is a percussionist in the school marching band. My daughter Sandra joined the

Army National Guard this year (so proud of her). My two children are the best blessing in my life. We enjoy going to the beach, cook outs, and watching movies.

I started as an ESOL Instructor in 2007 with SES. Four years later became the school secretary. I transferred to the

Judy Center as the Bilingual

Administrative Assistant July of

2014. Throughout these years I have maintained a goal and that is to continue my studies in the education field. SES has been an inspiration to enrich my education and create an impact in young children. On January of 2015 I graduated with a Bachelor’s

Degree of Science in Elementary

Education (K-6) from Wilmington

University. I am excited to begin another great school year with the

Judy Center at Sudlersville Elementary

School. This year I will be the In-Home

Interventionist for the Judy Center, and I am thrilled to work with young children and prepare them for school success!
