I’d
like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Marjean
Howerton and I am a graduate of The University of Akron in Akron Ohio. I am
originally from Columbiana Ohio and have lived in South Carolina for twenty years.
I am grateful to have a wonderful husband and sassy Boxer pup! I have two
wonderful children, a 10th grader and an 8th grader. I love to travel and learn about other
cultures and gain new experiences. As a Second Grade teacher at River Gate
Elementary School, I will have the pleasure of spending the next school year
with your son or daughter! I am excited about the year ahead, and am looking
forward to meeting you and your child. This is my ninetieth year teaching and I
am very excited about teaching second grader here at River Gate, I am excited
to welcome your child to continue their journey in education as well!
During
the coming year, your child and I will be spending many, many hours in the
classroom together. I want you to know that there is no place I would rather
be, and no job that I would rather have. Together, as parents and teacher, we
can truly provide a comfortable, stimulating, nurturing, and challenging
environment for your child. My promise to you is that I will consistently put
the best interest of your child first, keep you informed about your child’s
growth and classroom activities, and always welcome your input and support. As
the year progresses, I also encourage you to contact me with any concerns,
questions, or comments you might have. You can always leave a message for me at
the school office (980-344-1000), write me a note, or e-mail me at [email protected]
I look forward to working with you soon and
welcome to River Gate Elementary!
