Welcome Miss Sarkees!

You may have heard the children talk about the Junior Queen, Miss Sarkees. We want to welcome her to our room as our intern from FSCJ. Miss Sarkees will be teaching lessons and taking over the teaching eventually for this semester. I know she will be fantastic, as I know her family from having taught her brother when I first came to Beauclerc. (I know you can't believe I've taught that long!) You'll be hearing more about and from Miss Sarkees in the weeks to come. I'm excited for the children to have such an enthusiastic addition to our classroom. Please join me in a huge welcome for her!
