Welcome to an exciting new year! I am thrilled to be a part of your
son's/daughter's 3rd grade experience here at Ganiard Elementary School.
I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you my experiences
professionally and tell you about myself personally.
I am a 2000 graduate of Central Michigan University and a 2006 graduate from
Marygrove College with a Masters Degree in the Art of Teaching. My love for
teaching 3rd grade became clear when I student taught in Alpena! It was an
awesome experience that I will treasure always.
I began as a Ganiard Gator educator in January 2004 in the 3-4 multiage
classroom. Prior to accepting that position, I taught at West Intermediate
School. I began as a 7th and 8th grade Language Arts teacher my first
year. In my second year at West, I also taught Communications,
Publications, and Literacy Skills.
All of these experiences helped me develop professionally, and I am truly
blessed to be teaching my passion, 3rd grade. I am a lifelong learner and
enjoy reading for pleasure every chance I get. I value time spent with
family and friends. My husband, daughter Madison, son Kort, and I love
riding bikes, taking walks through the woods, and playing at the park, of
course!
You too play a critical role in your child's education and I intend to
involve you in every aspect of your child's experience this year. Please
feel free to contact me antyime before or after school. I look forward to a
year filled with challenges and successes!
My mission is to provide a nurturing environment that fosters growth both
academically and socially. Every child will feel a sense of belonging with
my guidance and through my positive interactions both inside and outside of
the classroom. All children will recognize their full potential in becoming
a successful lifelong learner.
