Back then, I became a teacher because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of little ones.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceAn outdoor education experience at Dingmans Ferry for an entire week with 6th grade students was my most memorable experience. The girls got scared because they heard a noise in the dark coming from the lake. It was a frog. They had never heard a frog before!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would give half of the money to our Makers’ Space so supplies could be purchased. The other half would go towards outdoor equipment for the playground, including some trees.
