I am so excited to begin a new school year and look forward to getting to know you and your student. Just to give you a little information about myself: I am originally from Vienna, IL, and have lived in the Carterville area for the past 20 years. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Evansville and my Master’s Degree from Greenville College. I am married to Steve and we have one daughter, Sydney, who is a junior at Carterville this year. My other “children” include a black lab, a beagle, 2 cats plus one stray who drops by for dinner now and then, some hermit crabs, and a seven year old Thoroughbred gelding. As you can see, I am an animal lover and spend a great deal of time with my daughter working with her horse. I have been a Girl Scout leader for the past 11 years and I enjoy volunteer work at local humane shelters when time allows. The involvement of you and your family in your student’s education is vital. A team effort among parents, student, and teacher will ensure a quality learning experience. My expectations for your student are high and I look forward to watching the class grow and learn. With your participation in and out of the classroom we can achieve a successful year for everyone. Please keep me updated with any information that you believe will improve my understanding of your student’s needs. The more information I have, the better equipped I will be to serve your student. We are off to a great start and I truly believe it is a privilege to work with these awesome kids. I welcome the opportunity to address your questions and concerns. Please feel free to contact me by phone, by email, or in person. My phone number at Tri-C is 985-8742, my email address is clay@cartervillelions.com, and my home phone is 351-1524.
