Greetings from Ms. Messer!

I would like to tell you a bit about myself.  I have lived in Cleveland for eight years and this is my third year to be at Hopewell.  I have enjoyed being a part of the team/family here at Hopewell.  Before becoming a teacher I have had the privilege to work with children in many other venues.  Each of those has given me insight to working with children and parents.  It is my desire that each student be given the opportunity to grow and develop to their full potential.  These are definitely the formative years of their lives and I want them to leave my classroom having grown, but to also feel good about themselves.

I have a brother that lives in North Carolina and another brother who lives in Maryville, TN.  I enjoy being able to see nephews participate in sports -- baseball and basketball.   Being from North Carolina originally I have a bit of Carolina Blue in my blood -- yes a Tarheel fan!

I look forward to the 2006-2007 school year being absolutely wonderful!
