To Whom It May Concern:

I am interested in working as an elementary education teacher.  I attended Central Methodist College in Fayette, MO for two years and College of St. Mary in Omaha, NE for two years.  My degree is in early childhood education. 

I am currently student teaching in the Bellevue Public School system.  My placements are in an early childhood special education classroom at Fort Crook Elementary and in a kindergarten room at Two Springs Elementary in Bellevue, NE. 

I would appreciate setting up an interview or getting the opportunity to speak with you.  Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Brianne Spry
