I simply love teaching! Thank you for entrusting me with your most precious
children.
I am a native Floridian, having spent all of my life in the Tampa-St. Pete
area. My son and I moved to Sarasota when he was in the first grade.
It is my second career, following a lifetime spent in the restaurant
industry.I returned to school when my son, Justin White, was attending
Sarasota High School. I graduated with highest honors from Saint Petersburg
College.
My "son"-shine recently graduated from New College and has entered the PhD
program at USF. I think it is in Chemistry and/or Biology.
We have been married to a wonderful man for the past 11, well actually
almost 12, years. Mike Tippery is formerly of the Midwest, but knows he will
never get this native to move any further north than right here!
Enough about me!
I look forward to the coming year.
As a caring and concerned educator, I will always seek to develop,
evaluate, and disseminate programs that foster children's ethical, social,
and intellectual development.
While nurturing children's capacity to think skillfully and critically,
I will strive to deepen children's commitment to pro-social values such as
Kindness, Helpfulness, Personal Responsibility, and Respect for others –
Qualities I believe are essential to leading Humane and Productive lives
In a Democratic society.
