(Students Name)!

I am excited to hear that you will be joining my 8th grade Language Arts class this upcoming year at (name of school)! I just wanted to write and introduce myself to you. My name is Michael Blair Jurgensmeier, or Mr. Jurgensmeier, or Mr. J. when the school year begins. I am originally from a tiny town in Idaho named Carey, (population 500, no joke). I went to college at Dixie State University in St. George, Utah. I am happily married and the proud father of three beautiful daughters ages 4-14. I have several great ideas this upcoming year and cant wait to meet you! Thanks, Mr. J!
