About The Teacher
This school year, '11/'12, is my thirteenth year with the Woburn Public Schools and returning to the Reeves, having been on the Reeves staff from 9/99-6/02, then at the Linscott/Rumford, Goodyear, Wyman, Malcolm White, and Shamrock Schools. Many years ago, before I left teaching to raise my family, I taught in Haddonfield, NJ, Stoneham, MA, Philadelphia, PA and Los Angeles, CA. My husband and I, along with our dogs, Maggie and Lizzie, live in Lexington. Our oldest, Peter, his wife Amy, five-year-old Jackson, two-year-old Alexa, and one-year old Landon, live in Bedford. Next in line is Chris, who lives in Hopkinton with his wife, Genny. Their first child, son Chase, was born January 20, 2012. Genny is on maternity leave from her third grade teaching position. The brothers, who are both Boston College graduates, work together in the world they love, the hockey world. They coach midget and Junior level Boston Junior Bruins' teams which play within the Eastern Junior and Empire Hockey Leagues. They also originated the Beantown Classic tournaments. Our third child, Kristine, was graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University, School of General Studies in May 2009. We are very proud of this academic achievement, her induction into the School of General Studies and Italian Honor Societies, and having received an award for excellence in her major, Italian Cultural Studies. Kristine lives in Rome from September thru June, where she teaches English to Italian adults, and in New York City or Boston for the summer where she teaches English to Italian teens who come for intensive coursework and a summer experience in the US. Our youngest, Katy, a graduate of Elon University, NC, was awarded a Masters Degreee from Northeastern University in May '09. She is an administrative assistant in the Northeastern University Law School, Co-op Department. Katy married Kyle O'Connor on September 17, 2006. They live in Bedford with their toddler Bridget and are expecting a second child in April. They traveled to Lurgan, Northern Ireland, this past June to celebrate Bridget's first birthday with Kyle's family. Our nest, therefore, is empty except for all the belongings our children left with us, which we're trying to get them to take to their own attics, basements and garages. This is a project that is moving very slowly! I love to watch hockey and synchronized figure skating, and I also enjoy reading mysteries. Tea, crunchy cookies and dark chocolate are favorites. Red and blue are my favorite colors.
