Welcome to 4th grade!! My name is Mrs. Gradert and I will be your child's teacher this year. This is my fourth year teaching at Independence Primary School and I could not be more excited! I graduated from Strongsville High School and then went on to graduate with my Bachelors in Arts and Sciences from Niagara University in New York. I have my prek-5th grade license as well as my k-12 Intervention Specialist licence. This marks my 6th year teaching! I am looking forward to a fabulous fourth grade year with your child!
