   Hello St. Patrick family and friends! My name is April Wenceslao and I am 
so excited to be a part of the St. Patrick family again this school year. 
   
I was born in the Philippines, and moved to Madison Heights, MI with my 
family when I was six. I have been a Michigander ever since, enjoying fresh 
apple cider in the fall and swimming the Great Lakes in summer.

I received a B.A. in Elementary Education at Michigan State University (go 
green!) in 2008 and completed a full year teaching internship in a Detroit 
Public School second grade classroom in the 2008-2009 school year. During 
this time, I also completed parts of my masters degree in Curriculum 
and Teaching. I recently completed my catechist certification at the Sacred 
Heart Seminary College in Detroit. This is my third year teaching first grade 
at St. Pat's. 

Communication with parents and families is essential in having students reach 
their highest potential. With that said, I strive to have you informed of the 
many happenings in 1st grade. Along with the many notes that I plan on 
sending home, this site is a great source for finding out what your 
child is learning. 

There are many ways you can contact me. You can:
1. email me using the following address:
-   awenceslao@stpatrickwhitelake.org (found on the school website)

2. call me at the school:248-698-3240 ext. 116

3. write me a note and send it to me using the homework folder

4. contact me through this site-click on "contact Ms. Wenceslao" on the right 
navigation bar

5. set up a scheduled meeting with me before or after school
