I enjoy running all over my quaint town, reading on my front porch, and taking care of my pets. I have a dog Credo and a cat Graydee.\u00a0 Reed attends Grand Valley State University in Allendale and Grand Rapids, MI.\u00a0 He is studying engineering and making me very proud.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite sports to play include volleyball and softball. \u00a0I run in 10 Ks and 1\/2 marathons as well. \u00a0I completed one marathon a few years ago, but the shorter races are more my forte. \u00a0My favorite sports to watch include Indiana University football games, IU college basketball, and TIGERS baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to email me (barkerk@dearbornschools.org) with any questions or concerns you may have or call the office: \u00a0(313)827-1700. \u00a0Mrs. Rammal\u00a0knows where to find me!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_721\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption
