Fenton Area Public Schools - World of Wonder

Welcome!

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! I hope everyone had a great first two weeks of school. I wanted to take the time to introduce myself. I am the new Director of Early Childhood Programs for Fenton Area Public Schools. Mrs. Linda Mora retired at the end of the 2021-2022 school year. I am honored to be following in her footsteps to serve the children, families, and community of Fenton.

A little more about me, I am a University of Michigan-Flint graduate. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have a teaching certificate with a ZS early childhood endorsement. I also earned my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have worked in early childhood education in Flint for the last ten years. I taught at the University of Michigan-Flint Early Childhood Development Center, the on-campus lab school. After my time at UM-Flint, I moved to the Genesee Intermediate School District. I became an Early Childhood Specialist (teacher coach) and then a Site Coordinator (director). I have experience working with the Great Start Readiness Program, Head Start, and Early Head Start.

I am married to my high school sweetheart Jake. In May we welcomed our first child, our daughter Elliott. We also have two German Shepherds - Arya & Wyatt. In my free time I love to read, tend my garden, and travel.

I look forward to getting to know the children and families here at Wonder of Wonder!

Please feel free to drop in the office to say hello if we haven't gotten the chance to meet yet.

Homecoming Parade Float Help

The theme for this year's homecoming is Into the Wild! Wow has chosen "Where the Wild Things Are" for our parade float. We are putting together a small float on one of our pull carts or wagons. We could use some creative helpers. Please let the office or your child's teacher know if you would like to help us construct a small float.

Costume Swap

WoW is holding our annual costume swap again this year. This will provide families with the opportunity to donate costumes they no longer have need of. Families will also be able to shop for new costumes. We are accepting donations through early October. Mid-October we will have the swap!

Help Support WoW

Join PAW (Parents at WoW): This is our version of a PTO. A way to meet other parents and to help advise and support our program. We would love to have representatives from every classroom.

Help Support WoW's Community Share Room: Donate new or gently used clothing or household goods. Families can also come shop for FREE stuff!

Save Boxtops for Education and donate to WoW

Save VG's receipts and donate them to WoW. Must be full receipt. There is a drop box in the main office.
