About The Teacher

      Hello!  I am delighted to be here! This is my sixth year teaching 
here and I am so excited to be back!  I am thrilled that the fifth grade is 
doubled.  We will be team teaching again this year.  I will be teaching 
math and science.  It has been a refreshing change!  
      For those of you who do not know much about me I am from a very small 
town located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New 
York called Galway. It is a very quaint town where everybody knows 
everyone.  My Elementary and High School were connected so I went to the 
same school from K-12th grade. It was right down the road so I was very 
active in all the activities the school offered and was able to walk to and 
from school. From High School I went to Davis College (formally known as 
Practical Bible College) in Binghamton, NY and then I attended Columbia 
International University and received my masters degree in Early Childhood 
Education and Elementary Education.  
       I absolutely love it here and could not imagine myself any other 
place.  I truly feel honored to have the opportunity to teach here and I'm 
loving every minute!

Class Motto

"Raise the Bar"  - We want to constantly be improving in all that we do and 
going above and beyond the call of duty.  This not only concerns our 
academics but also our social skills.  I want each one of these students to 
soar towards success!
