Welcome to Room 38. I am so excited to be here at Blackmore Elementary and working for USD #490. After spending 19 years in Garden City I decided I was ready for a career change, which brought my husband and I to Eldorado, Kansas.

We are enjoying this huge transition and are getting reacquainted with poison ivy, ticks and humidity. We have missed the small town living and are busy with making a home in Potwin.

I have 35 years experience in education and have taught Kindergarten, First, Second Grade, Special Education and elementary Grammar and Writing. I love teaching and feel blessed to be able to continue my career in such a caring school and district. Please feel free to drop in and spend time with us or volunteer in our classroom anytime.

Mrs. Newman and Ms. Raple join me in assuring success for your child and creating a great learning environment for every child.
