My hope is that every student loves first grade as much as I do! I have been teaching for 25 years.  I live in Chicora with my husband, Mike (avid tractor puller and jack of all trades), and our two very active children Austin (just graduated--working for Hey Electric and schooling through Community College of Allegheny College), and Kyleigh (sweet 16, dancing, twirling, and loving it!).  My hobbies include shopping, camping, scrapbooking, crafting,  and spending relaxing time with family.
