Welcome to First Grade! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and welcome you and your child to First Grade. My name is Angie Solita. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I also obtained my master’s degree through Saint Xavier University in May 2007. This will be my seventeeth year teaching in the Beach Park School District. I taught second grade for five years and this is my eleventh year teaching first grade. My husband graduated from Illinois State University with a Business Administration Degree and then later received his Masters Degree in Accounting and Finance. He is currently an Accountant for the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. My oldest, Hunter, will be a second grader this year. My youngest, Luke, will be four in December. I love being a mom and had a great summer spending time with my husband, my boys and our cat Max.:O)
