I would like to welcome you and your child to first grade at Walkersville Elementary School.  I'm looking forward to working with you and your child throughout the year!

This will be my 30th year at Walkersville, most of which has been spent teaching first grade.  I actually am a Walkersville resident.  I live with my husband and our two daughters, Stacy and Stephanie.

If you need to reach me at any time this year, please feel free to send in a note with your child, leave a voice mail message at 240-236-1000, extension 61058, or e-mail me at karen.byrnes@fcps.org.  I will try my best to get back with you as soon as possible.

First grade is a rewarding year for us all because of the tremendous growth observed throughout.  Please join the excitement and take part in any way that you can!
