I received an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education from
Dutchess Communtiy College and a Bachelor's in Elementary Education, K-6 from
SUNY Oneonta. I have been teaching in Arlington since 1985. I received my
Master's in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education in
1990. I began teaching Kindergarten at LaGrange Elementary and then taught
first grade, a first/second combo and second grade. In Sept. 2008 I will be
starting my 23rd year in Arlington! It will be my 5th year at Vail Farm
Elementary.
I have two children, Michelle and Anthony. We also have two golden
retrievers, Sandy and Sugar. I love Arlington so much I move into the
district when my children were ready to start school.
In June '06, I bumped into one of my former students who is now 26! She is
now older than I was when I had her in class! And, she is now a teacher
too! How cool is that??
Let me tell you, time flies, but I still love teaching and the kids as much
as I did when I first started!
I enjoy cooking, walking, bike riding, swimming, spending time with my
family, visiting book stores and libraries and READING BOOKS, especially
mysteries.
To create an environment for children to become "risk takers" and "thought
sharers" and to create an environment where everyone feels a part of the
community.
