Experience: I began my teaching career here at GR teaching both 1st and 4th
grade. From there, I taught Title 1
Reading in Waterloo. I re-enter GR with
20 plus years of teaching experience.
Initial Impressions of G-R: Last
year I subbed at GR and got to know the staff and students. I was excited to be back teaching in a small-town

students/parents here. The way the
whole community has welcomed me back, has warmed my heart and confirmed my
decision of returning "home" to GR.
