I am looking forward to another great year in third grade. There are many skills to master. It is my desire for your child to achieve to their greatest potential. Please stay in touch. A great way to get in touch is to send me an e-mail( brrentz@ware.k12.ga.us). Volunteers are needed and join us for lunch when you can. Working together will ensure that your child has a productive year in third grade.
