My name is Debbie Starks and I will be your child's teacher this year. I want 
to tell you a little about myself.  I am a hometown girl, I went to school in 
Carl Junction grades 1 - 12.  I received my Bachlor's degree in Elementary 
Education with an emphisis in Early Childhood at Missouri Southern State 
College, a few years later I received my Master's Degree in Curriculum and 
Instruction at William Woods University.  My husband and I live in Carl 
Junction and we have two grown children.  My son and his wife have blessed us 
with two little boys and just a few weeks ago a little granddaughter, they 
are a joy in our lives.  My daughter is a manager at Wal-Mart 
where she has worked for the last 10 years. We all spend a lot of time 
together having fun as a family. 

I am excited to have your child in my classroom and hope that it will be a 
year filled with fun and excitement for your child.  We will be exploring 
several different themes and learning many new and exciting things during the 
year.  I hope that you will be a big part of your child's first year of 
school, I believe that working together we can make it a wonderful experience 
for your child.  Please feel free to call me at the school if you ever have 
any questions or concerns, if I can not speak to you right away, I will 
return your call as soon as possible.  Thank you in advance for all you do.
