Dear Parents/Guardians, Welcome to first grade! I am so excited that the 2019-2020 school year is here. I would like you to know a little about me on a personal and professional level. This is my 11th year teaching at Colonial School District. I received my Masters of Education in Elementary Studies, K-6 from Wilmington University. I received my undergrad with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with concentration of Marketing Management. I was previously employed by a finance company for ten years. I am married and a parent of two little girls, age 14 and 9. As long as I can remember, I have wanted to work with children. I chose teaching to fulfill that desire. I have had many wonderful teachers who have inspired me to become a teacher. I never tire of the learning process and am currently taking additional workshops/courses to keep up with the advances in education. Your children are very important to me. I will strive to engage every student in intellectual discovery while building strong self-esteem. I will deliver my lessons with high levels of energy and passion. Everyday is a learning process for me and the students. I look forward to working with you as a team to promote your child’s growth. Sincerely, Mrs. Mutschler
