| Welcome
to Matthews Elementary,
The main concern at Mathews is the same concern parents have-the welfare
of their children. We want Mathews to be a warm, friendly and happy place
for children to learn, a place where they feel loved. We want the children,
their parents and their extended family to feel safe and welcome at their
school.
Sincerely,
Joe Ryan
