Welcome to the Third Grade

September 2019

Dear Parents and Families,

As we get ready to start a new school year, I would like to take this occasion to introduce myself.  I am Clorissa Whitman, and I am very excited for the opportunity this school year to be your child’s Third Grade teacher.

I am beginning my second year as a teacher at Blessed Sacrament School, however I am not new to this community.  I attended BSS from Nursery to Eighth Grade, and it feels like coming back home to my beginning in Catholic education.

Teaching and working with children has always been a passion of mine.  I have been involved in the field for over ten years, and my education includes a background in psychology.  I am also newly married, and reside in a small town outside of Albany.

Again I look forward to working with you and your children on their academics, community, family and personal growth.  Please feel free to reach out to me at any time.

Families are vital to our children’s success.

Thank you,

Mrs. Clorissa Whitman
