Awards Ceremony TOMORROW!

Hi families! Well, we are down to the final days together. I hope your soon-to-be-second grader came home today and told you about our Awards Ceremony tomorrow morning. First grade will have a formal Awards Presentation right off the bat tomorrow (Thursday May 23) at 8:45 in the Commons. You and your family are invited and encouraged to come and support your child as they are recognized for their hard work this year. Immediately following the formal ceremony, we will return to our classroom for our own Candy Awards as well as a small breakfast reception. Thank you again, to my families that have volunteered to bring in various treats. Please be sure they are at school by 9:30. I will also show the children a slideshow with a collection of pictures throughout our year together. After just previewing it, I have to say it's sad to watch. This was such a wonderful year with such a wonderful group of kiddos. It is going to be very hard to watch them go...ah, this is the difficult part of teaching. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will hope to see many of you tomorrow. Please remember to send a change of clothes with your child (if they are dressing up for the ceremony), as we have a day of PLAY planned once our celebration festivities are formally over. See you soon!

Is it sad to say that I'm really bummed that my kido isn't in your class and these post won't apply to me any more... SOOOO BUMMED! I couldn't have asked for a better teacher for Luke. You are amazing and took all those kids in as your own. I'm so thankful and blessed to have met you and to have learned so much from you. :) Luke (Pierson Honey & Lucas Long) have already started their "summer journals" and of course the 1st one had to be... wait for it...
Over the Memorial Day weekend..... hahahah
Of course they all rolled their eyes and then went to work.. HEHEHEH
Love ya lots, can't wait to see you soon!

Ms. Beverage's Bio...

Ms. Beverage Hello! My name is Betsy Beverage and I was born and raised in Lincoln, NE (Go Huskers!). I graduated from the University of Kansas (Go Jayhawks!) with a degree in elementary education. Somehow this will be my 8th year teaching first grade here at Sunflower! I taught second grade in Missouri for three years before leaving to begin my family and my adventure into motherhood. First grade is a year full of magic and milestones and I am so excited to begin on a new adventure with you child.

I have six amazing children and am currently working on Baby 7, who is debuting in early December! I am not only fortunate enough to be part of the teaching team at Sunflower Elementary, but I am also a parent to some of my own Sunflower kids. My oldest daughter, Annie, will be starting 8th grade at Wheatridge Middle School this year. My son, Charlie will be in 7th grade. Caroline is joining her oldest siblings at WMS as a 5th grader this year, too. I also have FIRST grader of my own! Josie will join the adventures of First Grade and Georgia will journey into FULL day Kindergarten, both here at SUNFLOWER! It is a joy to be in the same building with some of my babies all day. Our youngest , Audrey, is 2 1/2 and stays home with Dad during the day.

Jared and I make our home here in Gardner, right down the street from many of you, in fact. He is the night custodian at TRMS so that he can stay home during the day with our sweet girl and baby-to-be. We are blessed!

I am here to make sure that your child’s learning journey is as exciting, nurturing and successful as I expect my own children’s to be. I am so exicted to be teaching first grade teacher again this year. There really is magic that happens here in first grade. Please don’t hesitate to call or email me with any questions or concerns. We’re going to have a wonderful year together!
