Dear Golden Families,

Welcome to a brand-new school year at Golden Elementary! I am thrilled to be your child’s fourth-grade teacher and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.

This is my 25th year in education, and over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching students in 1st through 7th grade. Each grade brings its own excitement, but I’m especially excited to dive into the 4th grade curriculum with your child this year! This is also my 13th year at Golden Elementary, a place I truly consider home.

Throughout my career, my greatest joy has been fostering a love of learning in every student. I believe in creating a classroom environment where curiosity is encouraged, effort is celebrated, and every child feels seen and supported.

I’m looking forward to partnering with you to make this a successful and memorable year for your child. Please feel free to reach out anytime—I value communication and collaboration.

Here’s to a fantastic year of growth, discovery, and learning!

Warmly,

Maria Green
