Dear Parents,
Hello! My name is Mrs. Kidder and I am very excited to be

special place to learn new things and help you to reach your

that students always work hard, try their best, and develop
their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
A little bit about me….. I have been a teacher for an
amazing eleven years and I am very blessed to be at First
Baptist Christian School. I have experience teaching many
grades and I always bring a little piece of knowledge to create
the most positive, engaging, and creative learning
environment.
A little bit about my classroom……. I will teach your child
Bible, ELA, reading, math, science, and social studies. I believe
that communication is the key to a successful parent/teacher
relationship.
This is going to be a wonderful school year and I am
looking forward to our learning adventure together!
Mrs. Kidder
