I grew up in the Cullman County area. I graduated from West Point High
School. My desire has always been to work with children and young people to
influence their lives in a postive manner.
After receiving my undergraduate degree in elementary education and my
Master's degree as a Reading Specialist from the University of Alabama in
Huntsville, I worked temporarily as a fourth grade teacher at Jones Valley
Elementary and will be completing my sixth year at CCPS as a first grade
teacher this year.
I have always had a wonderful, supportive family including two neices and a
nephew who are just precious to me!I celebrated my second wedding anniversary
over the summer with my husband Dusty. We enjoy working on our new house,
spending time with family, and working alongside our youth group.
I cherish each day here at CCPS. My students are so bright,
interesting and creative ... each day is brand new. Each day is a blessing!
My desire for the Zebra class is to achieve success in all realms of life.
My ultimate goal is to attain success and growth for the children
emotionally, socially, and academically. This is to be accomplished through
a postive classroom environment that promotes a "can-do" spirit in order to
encourage confidence in both academic and daily life.
Also, I hope to begin the process of teaching and practicing the art of
making choices. I feel that children need to be encouraged to examine their
own behavior and learn to "choose their behavior".
It is my desire to enable my students to be successful learners in all areas
of life. Ultimately, we want to grow together to become life-long learners
as well as caring, concerned, and committed members of the community.
