Hello Families,

Welcome to Allen Aldridge Elementary, Home of the Defender.

My name is Mrs. Onasile, and I am absolutely thrilled to be your child's 2nd grade teacher this year! I can't wait to welcome your children into our classroom and begin a year filled with exciting learning, growth and joyful moments.

This is my fourth year as an educator and I couldn't imagine a more rewarding job. I love seeing students' faces light up when they discover something new, gain confidence in themselves and realize how capable they are. In our classroom, I believe every child is unique, every voice matters and every student can succeed with the right support and encouragement.

A little about me: I graduated from the University of Lagos with an Honors degree in Finance and earned my Masters in Business Administration from the National Open University of Nigeria. When I am not in the classroom, I love cooking, shopping, traveling and spending time with my family-all of which inspire me to bring fresh, creative ideas into the classroom.

What's ahead this year:

. Hands-on learning adventure in math, science and reading.

. Exciting classroom activities that spark curiosity and creativity.

. Celebration of progress - from victories to big achievements.

. Opportunities for parent involvement, because your partnership makes all the differences.

I believe strong communication between home and school is the key to helping your child thrive. I'll be sharing updates of our class activities and ways for you to stay connected throughout the year. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions, ideas or just share something wonderful about your child.

I'm so excited about this new school year and to get to know your child's personality, talents and dreams. Together, we'll make this a year of learning, laughter and unforgettable memories.

Here is to an amazing 2nd grade adventure!
