It’s the students- no other answer- each year we create a family in our classroom and each year, I am sad to see them go!

Learn MoreMy mother was my inspiration. She showed me through example how rewarding teaching and untiring students could be. She was a high school teacher when I was looking for role models on how to choose my career.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceTeaching during the pandemic- yes- weird right?! Our school was open that first year and we created a safe, joyful classroom that students wanted to come to- in spite of the masking, barriers, and social distancing. We had picnics, took Zoom field trips all over the world, and learned. There was nothing else for us to do but thrive in the adversity.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would honestly put the majority of into retirement savings. I would splurge in a family vacation to bring my parents to the town that they grew up in. We go yearly for our family reunion. I would rent a huge house that we could all stay in!
