A little bit about me... I grew up in Springfield and graduated from Parkview High School. I attended Drury University where I earned an English degree, received my teacher certification in both Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and also received my master's degree in Elementary Education.
I have been teaching for 15 years and have taught every grade from kindergarten to 4th grade. Every grade is different and has it's own set of challenges and rewards but there is something about the kindergartners that really touch my heart!
On a personal note... I have been married to my husband, Garry, for 26 years but we met in junior high so it seems like it has been forever:) We have one daughter, Emily, who will graduate this spring from Willard High School and will be attending the St. Louis College of Pharmacy in the fall. We have lived in Willard for 21 years where we also have 4 dogs and 4 cats.
