About The Teacher

     For many years before my two children were born I taught 6th 
grade at Deibler, even when it was called East Rockhill.  After 
staying home with them for a number of years, I returned to teaching 
as a per diem substitute, which led to various stints as a long-term 
substitute.  During the time I subbed, I taught all of the elementary 
grade levels, library, Learning Support, and music classes.  It was 
an exciting and enjoyable experience. 
     This is my thirteenth year at Sellersville.  Before that, I taught 
fifth grade and second grade at Bedminster.  One of my favorite 
experiences as a teacher is to see the many students I've taught grow 
up and begin their own lives.  Some have even become teachers!

Mission For The Class

     My goal is to meet each student where s/he is, to enrich her/his
knowledge and assist him/her in his/her ability to be an independent 
learner.  To accomplish this, each student needs to take 
responsibility for his/her behavior and work habits.  The only person 
each of us can change is ourself.    
  I hope to create an enjoyment of learning, a willingness to work to 
accomplish learning, a sense of community in the classroom, and a 
curiosity about the world around us, past and present. The skills of 
reading, writing, and speaking are essential to these tasks. 
Responsibility is a key element, as well.
