Welcome to the 23/24 school year! I look forward to meeting all my new Sixth grade students and families! The video below is a celebration of Discover's 10 year anniversary!
Coco is a Shepherd/Husky mix that we got when she was 9 weeks old...That was seven years ago. Since most dogs (and people) like having friends, we got Harley a couple years ago! We actually found her on Craigslist! She is 5 years old now, and she is a Shiba Inu. They love to wrestle, play and run! Harley, being the puppy that she is, likes to chew up remote controls and rip the stuffing out of pillows, etc. :)
I am one of the few people in this world that can actually say I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!!!!!! I have been a teacher for 30 years and I LOVE teaching middle schoolers because it is SUCH a fun age, what with ending elementary years and entering the "dreaded" middle school era! I think one of the many reasons I love teaching at Sequoia (this is my 14th year!) is to see all the great siblings we have had over the years! I'm so excited to see so many familiar names on my roster and get to know each one! I have two boys of my own at home- Luke (senior at Texas Tech University) and Nate (Freshman at Moorpark College). My boys attended Banyan, Sequoia, and NPHS! In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the beach, reading, camping, and trying new recipes.
I'm glad to know each of you and look forward to a great year!
