Welcome to my webpage!  I am returning for my 4th year as a Reading/Language Arts and social studies teacher here at LES. I am looking forward to forming positive relationships with our students and helping them achieve their fullest potential.
 
I'm so old I don't have any recollection of memorable moments from elementary school.  But I do remember that I have always loved reading! I remember being especially excited when I learned how to read and write in cursive.
 
On a personal note, my son, Zachery, attended 1st through 5th grade here LES, and he is now a 6th grader at FLMS.  We have many pets to include, 3 dogs, 9 cats, saltwater fish, and 14 chickens!
