My Classroom is Special Because:
1) We are a family and our classroom is our home
2) We have classroom pets (turtles and fish)
3) We make learning fun and we like to get messy
4) We see the world from the eyes of a four-year-old
5) Most importantly, we center our day around doing our best job for Jesus!
What Inspired Me to be a Teacher?
My parents put my feet upon this path, but it was God who put me where I was supposed to be. He
Perspective
In PreK-4, we have learned that “life happens.” We support our students and their families when bumps in the road arise. We let them know that we are with them on their journey. If they need prayer, a hug, an encouraging word, or guidance…we are in this together. We are a family. We are St. Michael.
A Little About Myself…
I am a convert. I have a daughter, Ellen (27 years old); a son, Nick (31 years old); and a daughter-in-law, Megan. I have two cats—John Cena and Mojo Jo-Jo. I love football (Philadelphia Eagles fan) and I like to hula dance.
