I have been in education for 35 years. I graduated from the University of Louisiana in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education, and from Lamar University in 2000 with a Master's Degree in Counseling.
I have taught first, fourth, and fifth grades, along with a Special Education class of children who were exited from other schools due to behavior. I have one daughter, who is in High School! We have three dogs named Bo, Legend, and Lo-lo.
My daughter attended J.W. James from Pre-K through 5th grade. She is in COLLEGE now, but still lovingly remembers all of her teachers!
I have been working at J.W. James since we opened the school in 2002 and have known Willow Street as my "home away from home" for the past 24 years. I love working with children, parents, and teachers, and am so happy to call myself a Starblazer!
One of my favorite people in the world is Robby Novak, better known as Kid President. We can all learn so much by watching some of his inspirational videos. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from Kid President.
