Hello everyone,

I hope you have had a fantastic summer! At Boggess Elementary, our mission is to inspire successful life-long learners. It is my belief that the school environment should be a welcoming environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, learning is a priority for all, connections to the community are strong, and students grow both academically and socially in a safe learning environment.

I love reading, walking, shopping and taking road trips with my family. My husband and I are extremely blessed to have our daughter, her husband and our two wonderful grandchildren nearby.

I am honored to serve the Boggess community and I feel very fortunate to work with such amazing children and such a dedicated staff. I am just as excited for this school year to begin as I was 34 years ago when I first began my career in education. I look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting those new to the Bengal family.

Working together I know we will make this school year one of growth, excitement, and achievement for all students.

I invite you to stay involved and informed. Below are several ways to stay connected:

• Register for our weekly eNews on your child’s parent portal
• Check our Boggess website at www.pisd.edu/boggess
• Follow us on Twitter at @BoggessBengals
• Like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/BoggessElementary
• Check your student's agenda daily
• Monitor your email for teacher communication

I strongly encourage all families to join PTA. Our PTA has a strong partnership with our school that benefits every child! The programs, volunteer support, family events and financial support are part of what makes Boggess great.

Thank you for sharing your child with us!
