Intro
I am a veteran teacher at Wolcott School. I have taught first, second, third and fifth grade in my career. At present, I am on the third grade team with Matt Dicks, Bonnie Butkiewicz and Laurie Rausch. Our commonality is success for all our third graders in every academic area as well as caring for them as complete people.
I began my family not long after I began my teaching career in Massachusetts. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to stay at home and raise my children for most of their younger years. These joyous years were quickly followed by returning to school for a masters degree and a re-entry into education. My children went onto college and successful careers which is of course is my goal for all children.
