Welcome to Multiage at Penn London Elementary School!
On a professional note... As far back as I can remember, I have always wanted to work with
children. It all started with my first experience as a camp counselor in training. Impressed by the
counselors I was assigned to work under, I loved the idea of singing each morning, exploring nature,
helping with crafts- all of it! Each counselor was either an early childhood or an elementary
education major in college. I knew at that moment in ninth grade that I was going to be a teacher.
My high school years started me on this career path as well. I was a Girl Scout leader’s assistant
and took part in childhood development program courses offered by my high school. We planned
lessons, took part in theory classes, and worked in our on site preschool three days a week. We were
afforded the opportunity to teach and to observe each other working with our students. It was a
wonderful experience.
Onward to college… I attended Lock Haven University and was offered the opportunity to
student teach in Frankfurt, Germany. This experience was an amazing time for me to grow as an
individual and as a beginning teacher. I graduated college in December and became a substitute
teacher in the Norristown Area School District. I loved the experience of teaching different grade
levels, learning new discipline techniques, seeing a variety of classroom setups, as well as different
formats for lesson plans, it was all very helpful.
I have been teaching with the Avon Grove School District for the past 19
years. I have taught 5th, 6th, K, 1st, and 2nd grades and currently teach a
multiage class. My all time favorite ages to work with are first and second graders. I am so fortunate
that I have the opportunity to work with little ones each and every day to make learning to read, write
and explore math, a fun and challenging experience for children. I have been taking classes over the
summer and am excited to put new techniques and ideas into full swing this year.
On a personal note...
My family resides in New London Township and we love living in the Avon Grove community. My
husband, Scott is a 5th grade teacher at Unionville Elementary. We have two children, Kaitlyn is 15
and is a sophomore at Avon Grove High School and Scott is 13 and a 8th grader at Fred S. Engle
MiddIe School. Our family enjoyed spending time with family and friends over the summer. This
summer we went on several weekend getaways including Gettysburg, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia.
As a family we love spending time at the beach and enjoy trying new restaurants. Our kittens, Bella
and Lilly are growing quickly and are a lot of fun.
I look forward to getting to know each of my students and am excited about our new learning
adventures together this year!
For each student in my classroom to:
Have Fun
Feel Safe
Love Learning
Take Risks
Always Try
Work Hard
