OFF INTO LEARNING!"







Dear Parents and Students,

I am looking forward to beginning my third year at Granite Quarry Elementary School! Students in my class will work as a team to accomplish goals.   Fifth grade is a busy and productive year filled with exciting learning activities, school events, and so much more! I am proud to have a "21st Century Learning" classroom at Granite Quarry. This means that your child will experience the very lastest in technology to engage him or her in learning each day. 

 
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at 704-279-2154 to set up a conference time.


Sincerely,
 

Ms. Leigh Marcischak
