All About Me :)

 I am a longtime resident of St.Tammany Parish and have lived in the same 
area -- Community of St.Tammany for most of my life. I love living in this 
rural area and could not imagine living any where else. I have been married  
for 38 years to John. Together we are the proud parents of  6 children and 5 
grandchildren :) All of whom live in the area or close by. 
 
 I enjoy reading,especially Historical Fiction and Suspense Novels. Most 
weekends are spent hanging-out at home with my husband and large family!
 
 Sixth Ward Elementary School is my 2nd  HOME. I started out at SWE as a 
substitute teacher many years ago when my own children were students here. I 
later became a Para educator and worked a short time at another area school 
as a Title One Tutor. 
 I was given the opportunity  to come back to SWE as a Para educator  
and worked in a variety  of positions including PEI, MAE and IN-House 
Suspension. All this time I was working on my dream of becoming a certified 
teacher. After taking a short time off to complete my Bachelor of Arts in 
Education at Southeastern Louisiana University I returned to Sixth Ward 
Elementary as a Third Grade teacher :) I love working and teaching at Sixth 
Ward Elementary. I feel like I have truly come HOME!
