WELCOME TO YOUR 6A HOMEROOM
 
 
Dear students and parents,
 
 
It really seemed like the summer has passed by very quickly, but I am excited about the beginning of another school year. I look forward to working with each of you to make this a very productive and successful year. I know most of you from the 5th grade last year and look forward to getting to know you and our new students even better. I am always available to answer questions. My email address is bsanders@pikelib.com or you can leave me a message through the school office at 334-566-2023.
