Mrs. Santori's Classroom Updates
I would like to open the door to parents and family members to come into our classroom over the next 2 months to share about your career. These presentations could be about 20 minutes and include what you do and how you got there. If you are interested in visiting or even using Skype to share with us please contact me with your availability. Thank you for considering.
