Students are gifts sent to us wrapped! Some are wrapped very beautifully; they are attractive when we first see them. Some come in very ordinary wrapping paper. Others have been mishandled in the mail. Once in a while there is a "Special Delivery". Some students are gifts which come very loosely wrapped, others very tightly. Sometimes the gifts are very easy to open up. Sometimes we need others to help. Is it because they are afraid? Does it hurt? Maybe they have been opened up before and thrown away! But the wrapping is not the gift! Welcome to a new school year!!!!! My name is Rhonda Bierman, and I am proud to be your child's math teacher this year. It will be exciting to get to know your child underneath the wrapping. I am looking forward to a fantastic year where every student believes that they CAN DO MATH!!!!!!! Thank you for trusting me with your child's education!!!!!
