This school year will be my 25th year teaching at Pleasant Valley. During that time, I was an instructional aide, developmental first grade teacher, and a first grade teacher. I am married and have two stepsons, a step daughter-in-law, a son, a daughter, and a grandson. I also have two dogs, two cats, and chickens. Most of my free time is spent exercising, cleaning, watching my grandson, and driving my daughter to softball practices or games. When I do finally settle down, I like to watch movies, play with my pets, and read magazines and book.
