Field Trip Tomorrow!

Hi families! Don't forget tomorrow is our field trip to the Paul Mesner Puppet Theater! Check out this link to learn more: www.paulmesnerpuppets.org/‎. Please have your child wear their blue Sunflower t-shirt, bring a sack lunch and drink and PLEASE put sunscreen on them before they head off to school in the morning. After our morning puppet show, we will be going backstage to make our own puppet craft. Then we will head back to Gardner and have a picnic lunch and playdate at Celebration Park! You are welcome to meet us at the park for lunch. We plan to arrive by 12 noon. Please call me on my cell phone tonight if you have any questions. You can reach me at: 378-7523. I will be at my son's baseball games all night and won't be able to check email. Thank you so much! The countdown is on...tomorrow will be lots of fun! Have a great night!

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!
