Welcome, Fifth Grade Parents and Students!
I look forward to a wonderful school year of learning and growing together. Our class motto is, "Making our Mark". My goal is that the students in my class will create a positive impact on every life they touch by how they learn, by how they speak, by how they act, and by how they react; so that they will be respected as leaders of strong character in both the classroom and the community. Class of 2018-2019, welcome to the Strong Squad!
Family
My family and I moved to North Carolina from Michigan. My husband is a computer software developer. We have two children. Our daughter is beginning medical school this fall. Our son is working full time while taking college courses. We love to spend time together, whether just talking at the dinner table, or riding the waves at the beach.
Hobbies
When I have free time, my first instinct is to pick up a book. I love to read! My favorite genre is mystery. I enjoy reading and rereading Agatha Christie mysteries. My other hobbies include playing the piano, scrapbooking, and watching HGTV for ideas on home decorating.
Pets
We have one pet, Buster. Buster is a Maine Coon, a breed of cat developed in Maine. Buster is a large, beautiful cat with soft fur and a very fluffy tail. He loves treats, digging through papers in our desk drawer, and sitting on papers while I am trying to grade them. He prefers to drink water from the bathtub faucet. He lets us know he is thirsty with a very loud, Meow!
