About The Teacher

I am married to a wonderful, loving, and handsome husband named Eric.  I was 
his first girlfriend and he was my first boyfriend.  We met at the gym and 
have been inseparable ever since.  Eric and I were married April 23, 2005.

This February Eric and I had our first little addition named Phyllis (Phyl is 
her nickname).  She is the light of our lives, and I can now appreciate even 
more the role of a teacher.  You are trusting me with your most precious 
gift, your children.

Eric and I are originally from Madison, Wisconsin and will not miss the 
winters!  We both are avid lifters and I compete in the INBF (International 
Natural Bodybuilding Federation).  In October 2006, I won the heavy weight 
division for the INBF Midwest Competition .  

On a spiritual note, I have a degree in Theology from Marquette University 
and I will make strong efforts to have the priests visit our classroom.  God 
is an integral part of my life and I will facilitate a spiritual and 
reverent learning environment.

Mission For The Class

As a teacher and mother, I see God in all my children.  I want my students to 
feel appreciated and safe in my classroom.   Each child will always be 
treated with compassion and respect.  They are encouraged to persue and 
develope their God-given gifts and talents to expand and enrich their 
learning.
