Hello! I am very excited about the upcoming school year! I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child. This is my fourth year at Paradise Intermediate after teaching 1st grade at Paradise Elementary for nine years. I promise to work hard to help him/her achieve their greatest potential. I will expect your child to do the same. Our motto will be: “Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart”. I will also strive to foster an environment everyday that is positive, safe, and conducive to exploring and learning.
On a personal note, this is my thirteenth year back into full time teaching after a thirteen year hiatus to stay home with my three children, J.D., Hannah Beth who is married to Avery, and Cade, who is a senior at PHS. I have been married to my husband David for 28 years, and we have lived in the Cottondale area for over twenty-one years. I enjoy sports (especially watching my children play them!), music, playing games, decorating, and being with my family and friends.
I am eagerly anticipating your child’s arrival at school. Thank you for entrusting him/her to me. Please, please contact me anytime if you have questions or concerns. You are your child’s most influential teacher. I want to partner with you to help your child be the best he/she can be in every way! I’m looking forward to a great year!
