Dear Co-Teachers (Parents/Guardians) and Scholars,

Welcome to Kindergarten! I am so EXCITED to be your teacher. I look forward to working with and getting to know each of you. I am a Troy, Alabama native and have a Bachelor of Arts degree (Elementary Education) from Tuskegee University and a Master of Education degree (Elementary Education) from Alabama State University. This year, during my nineteenth year of teaching, we will learn many fun and innovative things. I LOVE teaching and my expectations for ALL of my students are very high. If you have any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Ms. Letasha A. Dix
