Granite Valley Family Newsletter
Aug. 24-28
My name is MaryRenee Lemberg and I am delighted to introduce myself as the new music teacher joining the Monson Public Schools family this year! I come to you with over 20 years of experience teaching. I began my career teaching music to students in grades K–6, and have most recently been teaching humanities in a private school setting. I could not be more excited to come back to my roots in the performing arts and be part of the Monson community.
A little about me: I am a proud mother of two teenage girls, a wife, I love coffee and all things Disney. I know firsthand how important it is for children to have opportunities that help them grow, connect, and discover who they are. The arts have always been that opportunity for me, my husband, and our daughters.
I believe music ignites the imagination. It gives every student an outlet for personal expression whether through singing, playing an instrument, or simply listening closely to a selected piece. I believe music touches everyone's life in a meaningful way. It is my passion to help each child discover that for themselves.
I look forward to a fantastic year making music together and becoming part of this wonderful school community.
Warmly,
Mrs. MaryRenee Lemberg
