Hello First Graders and Parents!

Welcome to first grade and to a wonderful new school year! My name is Ms.Toner and this will be my 7th year teaching first grade. I clearly LOVE being a first grade teacher! Here is a little bit about me: I grew up in Long Island, New York and before moving to Virginia I taught for two years in New York and this will be my fifth year teaching in Virginia at Liberty! Liberty is a great school with a bunch of amazing teachers, administrators and families! I feel very lucky to be part of this warm and welcoming community.  

I graduated from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY with a Master's Degree in Educational Psychology. Go Red Foxes!

This August, I celebrated my 2nd wedding anniversary! I live with my husband and our dog, Okie, in Prince William County. We love taking Okie on walks and spending as much time as we can outdoors! Over the summer, I spent time in NY visiting my family and playing with my little niece and nephew, I went to the beach and pool almost everday and I also traveled to Europe for the first time. I traveld to Finland, Italy, Croatia and Greece. I had so much fun exploring and learning all about these beautiful places! 

Now that you know a little about me, I am so excited to get to know my firsties! First grade is a HUGE year and we are going to make and share some great first grade memories together. You may feel a little nervous for the first day, and that is okay, I am too! We are all in this together and I promise we will be laughing and smiling all day long. I cannot wait to meet you and I hope you are ready to be first grade Liberty Eagles!  

  See you very soon!
