A Farm Girl at Heart

I am excited to be teaching at DeKalb Middle School.  I've been in the school 
system around 30 years.  This year marks my tenth year at DeKalb Middle in 
the 8th grade Science Department.  

My husband Jerald and I own a farm in the western part of DeKalb, where we 
raise our cattle and farm.  We have three sons Matt(28)(wife Melody), and 
twin sons Jordan, and Justin(24).  We are active members of the Elizabeth 
Chapel Baptist Church here in Smithville.  We enjoy mission work (traveled 
last year to Brazil), gardening, and golf.  We have a deep love for family 
and friends. 

   

Science is Life!!

My goal is to help each student develop a love and responsibility for our 
world, while learning the state objectives required for 8th grade.
