This is my 13th year to teach Kindergarten. I taught my first two years at Stonewall Elementary. This is my 11th year at Francis Elementary. I love Francis School! It is the best school around, in my opinion! All of my children have gone through here. Before I went back to school to get my teaching degree, I was a stay at home mom. Once my kids were all in school, I started doing a lot of substitute teaching and volunteer work at Francis. I loved it so much that I decided to go back to school and get a second bachelor’s degree. This time in teaching! I did my student teaching at Francis.This is my “dream job!”
