Welcome to St. John's!

A little about me... 

I have been a teacher at St. John's since 1996 when the school first opened.  
I have been priveleged to work with both first graders and middle schoolers.  
I am excited to be working with third grade - it is the best of both worlds. 
Students are a bit more independemt than first graders, but not quite as 
independent as middle schoolers!  My favorite subjects to teach are reading 
and math.  I love to see the tremendous growth that takes place in these 
areas over the course of the year.  I have specialized training in the hands-
on teaching of both reading and math.  

I obtained my undergraduate degree in elementary education from Mississippi 
University for Women with an add-on endorsement in special education.  My 
Masters in Education is from the University of North Alabama, where I 
concentrated in reading.  In addition, I am a trained Orton-Gillingham tutor, 
trained to help students who struggle with reading.  

I am blessed with a beautiful family.  Mr. Lones is a contracts manager, and 
we have 3 beautiful children. My daughter is a third grader, and my baby boy 
is in first grade.  My oldest son is a freshman at Pope John Paul II Catholic 
High School this fall.

My hobbies are reading, writing, photography, traveling with People to People 
student programs, and spending time with friends and family.   I am excited 
about being your child's teacher.

God Bless!
