Let me start by saying I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year and consider it an absolute honor.  This is a very exciting time for your child as they begin to become independent and develop a lifelong love of learning.

I am originally from Michigan and moved here several years ago. I have three really great kids, Paige and Austin have graduated  and Reagan is a senior this year.

I am a graduate of Western Michigan University and have attended the University of Michigan for my Master's program.  My experience includes teaching preschool, kindergarten, 1st, and 6th grades.  This is my 18th year teaching and my  twelfth  year at Bell's Crossing.  I feel very blessed to have this opportunity and I believe that I have been chosen to have a passion for education.

Joining me in educating your child will be my assistant, Kim Gendreau.    Mrs. Gendreau's  experience includes teaching 1st, K4 preschool, and substitute teaching.  This is our eighth year together at Bell's Crossing.

We look forward to an exciting year of educating your child and learning from them.  A strong, positive parent-teacher partnership is an important element in educating your child.
