Welcome back students and parents! What a whirlwind of a day! It was great to see all of you and meet the new 6th graders. Today in class I introduced myself to students and I got to learn a little about them. Today students learned the following about me:

• I am the oldest of three (I have a brother 2 years younger and a sister 8 years younger).
• I graduated from Miami University in Ohio with a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature and Political Science. I earned my first Master’s Degree from The University of Michigan in English and my 2nd Master’s, also from U of M, in educational leadership.
• This is my 22nd year of teaching. I have always taught in Dearborn – first at Woodworth Middle School and then at STEM.
• In my free time I love to read historical fiction, travel, do SIMPLE art projects, and go to Michigan football games (my family has had season tickets for over 40 years!).
• My favorite beverages are Coke and iced tea (I STRONGLY dislike coffee). My favorite foods are Thai, Mexican, Pizza, and chocolate 🙂
• Lastly, this summer I traveled to New York City for the 4th of July fireworks. WOW! there is no better sight.

I can’t wait to get to know all of you a little better this school year. We are going to have a fantastic year 🙂
