About Mrs. F

Hello there!

I am so excited to begin another year (my 11th!) at Florence Meares Public School! 

This fall, I will continue as a grade 8 homeroom teacher to Class 81.  I'm can't wait to see some familiar faces, and welcome new students to the school.

Prior to arriving at FM, I was a Math Coach for two years - working with students, teachers, and administrators all across our school board.  It was an amazing opportunity to see all of the great things that are happening in classrooms from Acton to Burlington!  As much as I enjoyed my job, I missed having my own classroom and students.  I also taught for a number of years at C.H. Norton Public School. 

I love to travel and have been to England, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Malaysia and all over the Caribbean. I also spent several months backpacking across Australia.  I've had the pleasure of visiting many beautiful cities all over Canada and the United States as well!  

I am a huge foodie - I love to cook, and I love to eat!  I enjoy trying new types of foods and cuisines from all over the world.

I also love music, reading and spending time with friends and family.

I'm really excited to learn more about my students and their families.  It's going to be a great year!  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me by email or by calling the school.
