Dear Mark Twain Family,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is with great excitement that I write this letter to introduce myself as the new principal of Mark Twain Elementary. It is my belief that relationships are the foundation of every strong school community. I look forward to meeting the students, staff, and families of MTE and becoming a part of the Mighty Mustang Family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My journey to Mark Twain Elementary includes 28 years in elementary education with 14 years as a classroom teacher, 3 years as a math specialist, and 11 years as an administrator. Most recently, I served as the principal at Audelia Creek Elementary. My husband is an elementary PE teacher in the district, and we raised our two children in RISD schools. Our youngest son will begin his teaching and coaching career this year at Westwood Junior High.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am so thankful for this new opportunity to partner with you to ensure that all students, staff, and families connect, learn, grow, and succeed. As your new principal, I welcome your input and look forward to meeting all of you at the MTE Meet and Greet on Friday, August 11th, from 5:00 – 6:30 PM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sincerely, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharon Erickson
