Welcome Letter

 Dear Parents,

From the time I was a young girl, I wanted to be a teacher. To make this dream come true I attended Concordia Jr. Teachers College in Ann Arbor where I earned my Associates Degree. From there I went on to study at Concordia Teachers College in Seward, Nebraska and received my B.S. in Education. I have completed some graduate work at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan and completed my Master's in the Art of Teaching at Marygrove College. As a mother of three boys, I have experienced many life lessons that have enriched me as a teacher.

I have been a teacher for over 30 years, over half of them having been for the Grosse Ile Schools. Before teaching in this school system I was the Co-founder and Director of two preschools: Little Lambs Christian Preschool in Riverview, Michigan and Faith Lutheran Pre-Kindergarten in Baltimore, Maryland.

It is my desire that your child will have a very positive experience over the next year. My mission as a classroom teacher is to help your child realize that he or she is an unique person with great potential. I will create a positive learning environment that will build strong self-esteem, so your child can perform to his highest ability. I will hold your child accountable for his academic and social actions, so when your child leaves my class, he or she will function as a responsible citizen in our school and community.

I am looking forward to working with you and your child over the coming years. If you have any concerns please feel free to contact me at 734-362-2673. This is a direct line. If I am busy teaching when you call please leave a message and I'll get back with you as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Marjean Martz
