This is my first year teaching full time and I look forward to the new school year. I have spent the last 5 years Substitute Teaching in the district and getting my certification. As an Air Force brat I have lived in several places, but was born in Leeton, MO (a small town outside of Independence, MO). I have 2 children, 2 step-children, and 3 grandchildren. In my spare time I enjoy Cross-stitching, reading, watching old black and white movies, and playing PC, Xbox, and Playstation with my husband Mike. We live with 3 cats: Felix (2 years), Millie (4 1/2 years), and Molly (11 years).
