Meet The Teacher I would like to tell you a little about myself. I was born in Peoria and have lived here all of my life. I attended Loucks Grade School from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Then, I attended Peoria High School for four years.
I always wanted to be a teacher from the time I was a little girl. Finally, my dream came true! I attended Bradley University for my undergraduate and then attended Western University of Illinois in Macomb to complete my Masters Degree.
This is my eleventh year of teaching at Pleasant Hill School. All of these years have been spent teaching junior high students. I truly feel at home at Pleasant Hill where I have made many friends. I feel very fortunate to have taught some of the wonderful students that have come my way at Pleasant Hill. I look forward to those students who have graduated coming back and sharing their successes.
My hobbies include gardening, mainly flowers. I have included a picture of some of my flowers. You can see by how many I have that I really enjoy them. I love trying out new varieties of flowers and seeing them grow and bloom. When we are traveling I have to stop at just about every place that sells flowers! We also have over 150 Hostas, with many different varieties. We counted our flowers and found that we have 312 flowers. So I definitely have a flower fetish. I can't seem to stop buying them!! I also love to read! This summer I read many books about romance or historical fiction.
My family consists of one husband of 33 years, three daughters, and three grandchildren. I have a new granddaughter who was born in June!! My husband and I enjoy traveling, going to antique car shows, gardening, and spending time with our grandchildren.
Some day I hope to write a childrens book, visit Hawaii, and Italy.
