Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year!  My name is Susie Snelling and I have the honor of being your child's teacher this year.  I know that your child will be both excited and nervous about meeting me so let me tell you a little about myself.

I am a product of the Waynesville School District.  I began school in this district when I was in the second grade and I graduated from our very own Waynesville High School.  I attended Drury University where I received my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Elementary Education.

I have been married to my best friend Harrison for 30 years.  We have three children Chris, Michelle, and Billi.  I have six beautiful granddaughters; Alyana, Lauryn, Reagan, Ella, and Karis, and Berkely.  I also have one spoiled dog named Tiger.

My favorite things are reading, spending time with my family, and vacationing at the beach.

I look forward to working with your child and with you this year.  In my classroom, I have high expectations for conduct and academic standards based on the belief that students learn best and reach their fullest potential both socially and academically in a caring, engaging, safe, and productive environment.  I also believe that a key ingredient to your child’s educational success depends on your consistent positive support and encouragement at home.

My door is always open.  If you should ever have a question, a concern, or a suggestion about your child or our classroom, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Again, welcome and I look forward to an exciting year.

Respectfully,
