Snapshot of my life- Attended k-12 in Rogue River and after living in Vancouver WA for 10 years moved back to the valley with my husband and 3 sons. Began teaching for Rogue River in 1999 bouncing between 5th and 6th grade. I have seen many changes over the years, but the fundamental nature of kids is still the same-social time and schoolwork.

When not in the classroom, I am usually with one or more of my 5 grandkids in the outdoors especially at the river or beach. What kind of grama would I be if I was not making sprinkled covered cookies with the grandkids. When traveling I am always on the lookout for hawks on powerlines or fencepost. Just a snapshot into my fun, family focused world.
