You  are welcomed  every day to our school community. We are all looking forward to a happy and healthy school year, with academic challenges, class participation ,  and the renewing of  our friendships  and routines. Faith, family and friendship are the pillars of our foundation at  St Thomas the Apostle. I am looking forward to  this school year. God bless all of us as we navigate this new path together.

We will be learning much about math this year: algebra, geometry, inequalities, ratios,  and proportions. Have fun, have faith, be humble and kind!!!!
Please know that it is my intention to always  insure that each student understands each lesson. Some topics may demand extra attention. I am available daily at recess. Please be advised to ask  for a recess pass before 10AM any day you need assistance. WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER. IT  IS OK NOT TO KNOW IT'S NOT TO TRY- LET'S WORK TOGETHER!!!
Please have your child's name on their fleeces.                                               

Math Rocks !!!!!!!

We would appreciate any boxtops of ink cartridges you could send it for our fundraising program.
I am so happy to be working with all of you. We will be covering  many math concepts that are the foundation for so much learning.  Remember: "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire" to quote WB Yeats. I am always available for support and assistance and I  truly appreciate your hard work. God Bless!
