This is my ninth year of teaching at LCMS. My website will be updated regularly throughout the year and will contain due dates and links to assignments. I will update our PowerSchool gradebook weekly as assignments are collected.

I will be on maternity leave until mid-November and look forward to meeting your child when I return! Sarah Ryan will be my long-term substitute during this time.
