As many of you may already know, my husband and I are expecting our first child in January.  We are so excited and filled with anticipation for this new member of our family to arrive.  Your children have been my top priority in my preparation to be away for maternity leave.  I reached out to my favorite Gifted and Talented Education Professor at SMU for long term substitute recommendations, and she instantly suggested Elisa Farrell.  After having Elisa as our special guest one day, it was clear to me that our students would not only be in good hands while I am away, but I believe they will benefit greatly from their time with Mrs. Farrell.  Attached you will find a letter from Elisa introducing herself.  We will work together to prepare for my time away from the classroom so that your children will continue to receive the TAG curriculum.
