Something about yourself:
I was raised on a farm in Stafford County. During the first two years of my career, I taught at the same elementary school that I attended when I was young with the same principal. I am a mom of 3 sons and the wife of a VMI husband. I taught 4 years with DODDS-Germany overseas.
I have taught Title I and Gifted. I have a M. ED. as a Reading Specialist.
I love teaching, reading, cooking, gardening, football, lacrosse, and the beach.
I love the kids, parents and staff at Pinchbeck Elementary and feel blessed to be a part of this wonderful community!

After the practice period, on the word "go", all of the students began to hula hoop.

All students who were still hula-hooping after 90 seconds were declared the winners. Greg Brown Physical Education Teacher |
