Welcome to St. Michaels. My name is Ms. Gibson and I will have the pleasure of teaching your child this year. I am a new teacher at St.Michaels. I studied in Pittsburgh Pa, while playing division 1 hockey. I have been teaching for 6 years. I have done 2 years in Ottawa and South Korea for 3 years, where I taught Kindergarten and Grade 1 at a British Columbia and Manitoba International school.
It is my belief that a child's success is based on a cooperative parent/teacher relationship. I look forward to working with you throughout the year.
I hope you and your child enjoyed the summer.
