Meet your teacher:
I would like to welcome you and your child to my classroom at Oakdale Grade School. First, I would like to introduce myself. I am very excited about teaching my twelfth year at Oakdale Grade School. Math is my favorite subject, and I am excited about teaching my third year of this curriculum. I am very eager to take on the new teaching position of the 7/8th homeroom and ELA teacher with 5th-8th grade math. I have been married to Zack Vahlkamp for eighteen years, and we have two active boys, Stephen Freshman, and Henry seventh grade, two girls, Sophia fourth grade, and Johannah Kindergarten. We live in the Oakdale district in Elkton. I am looking forward to this year!
If you would like to add to our parties, please let me know. This is what I have so far.
Dear Parents/ Guardians,
It was great to see most of you at our open house. I am very excited about this school year and I hope your child is too. If you didn’t get a chance to sign up or needed to check a schedule first and would still like to help out please let me know. Below is the list of parents for the holiday of their choice. You can contact me by sending a note, email, or calling the school. Let me know if you can be contacted via phone, and I can give out your number. cvahlkamp@oakdalegs.org
Sincerely,
Mrs. Crystal Vahlkamp
