Tell us why you became a teacher

I had a little book that I filled out from Kindergarten to 6th grade. One of the questions was what do you want to be. It was always “teacher”. Two aunts, an uncle and my cousin were/ are teachers. It’s creative, fun and so rewarding.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Oh, boy, so many. I think one that continues is when I get letters, emails and visits from former students. Some who are now parents with children at my school! I even teach with a former 5th grader of mine!! I love those connections!! They are forever memories!!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would plan a fun event for my current 5th graders!! Then something for my amazing staff. I would pay off my car and then one loan. It would be amazing!!
