Fun Facts About Ms. Burns

I have two beautiful children.  My son works for Burbank Police Dept. and before that he was a professional baseball player.  He played for the Minnesota Twins and was on scholarship at UC Santa Barbara.  My daughter graduated from San Diego State where she played volleyball on scholarship.  I was lucky enough to be able to do my student teaching in England.  This is when I was bit by the travel bug.  I enjoy discovering new and exciting places all over the world.  In 2018 I spent a month in Greece with Mrs. Dos and explored the most beautiful islands.  Next summer we will pick another glorious country to explore.  I love all types of music and yes I may be old but I still enjoy water skiing and can actually get up on a single ski.

Fun Facts About Mrs. Ferry 

I just had my second beautiful baby boy in January 2025! I love my boys, watching them grow and explore new things. I love watching and being around all different sports.  I grew up in New Jersey and because of that I am a diehard New York Giants fan. I have lived in CA for 9 years, and have converted to being a Dodger fan! My husband and I love to travel the world. We have been blessed to have been to 23 countries and gone to a soccer match in many of them. My favorite countries I have been to are Turkey and Italy because of the different cultures, people, and food! I am looking forward to going back to them and showing my two boys what traveling is all about.  Although I have been to multiple countries, my favorite place is Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire where my family vacations together every year. Another passion of mine is running. I have run in three half marathons and plan to run another one within the next year. Overall, I love being with family and enjoying their company. I love to walk around at brunch and lunch to say hello, but you can also find me in my office. My door is always open so come by and say hello:)
