Hello Rising Sun! I am so excited to be teaching Kindergarten at RSES. It is so great to be back where I was once a student and where I was inspired to become an educator.

I graduated from Towson University with a dual degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I began teaching for CCPS in 2018 and have taught first, second, and third grade. In my free time I like to spend time with my family and play with my dogs! During the summer, I love to spend time at the pool or at the beach!

You can contact me through email at bjcraig@ccp.org. I am looking forward to a great school year!

I am so excited for another year of teaching kindergarten at RSES. I have taught for many years, many different grade levels and I keep coming back to kindergarten because it is my favorite. I love watching my kindergarten friends learn and grow both academically and socially.

I live in Colora with my husband and my two children. My son will be finishing up a marketing degree this year at Wilmington University and my daughter will be starting a program at Delaware Technical College to become a dental hygienist.

I love spending time with my family, traveling, reading and singing with my chorus. I am looking forward to my 20th year of teaching for CCPS.

Hello, Rising Sun! My name is Mrs. Klusak and I am so excited for another wonderful school year! I attended Towson University and received a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in reading.  This will be my 15^th year teaching at Rising Sun Elementary. I was a first grade teacher for 12 years, a reading and math intervention teacher for one year, and this will be my second year teaching kindergarten!

I live in Harford County with my husband, our three sons, and our two puppies, Rosie and Remi! My oldest son, Parker, will be in fifth grade this year. My middle son, Camden, is going into second grade and my youngest son, Weston, is starting pre-k this year. My students will hear many stories about Mr. Klusak, my boys, and our puppies! We enjoy spending time with friends and family, going swimming, having bonfires, visiting Hershey Park, watching movies, and going to the beach.

I love the first days of school and getting to know our class and their families. I am looking forward to an amazing year in kindergarten filled with learning, growing, and lots of fun!
