My name is Hope Richard.  I have two beautiful children and a husband who owns his own business.  I have three Olde English Bulldogs, a bearded dragon and 7 chickens.  This year is my 8th year in education.  I have taught as an educational assistant,  a substitute and now I have my own classroom in second grade. I have also taught grades Pre-K, second and fifth grade. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was four years old and I can proudly say I am living out my dream!  am looking forward to a great year.
