Dear Parents and Families:

Reading increases knowledge and vocabulary, lowers stress, and supports your child's emotional growth. But perhaps the best benefit is the lasting bond you create with your child when you read with them. Visit the Book Fair with your child to discover new books together!

Friday, November 22 - 7:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Monday, November 25 - 11:30 AM - 8:00 PM

I have been a sixth grade teacher for most of my career and have taught every subject including math, science, language arts and social studies.  I have 3 children. My daughter attends Cleveland State University, my older son is a senior and my younger son is a sophomore at Olmsted Falls High School. When I am not working I enjoy being outside going for walks or traveling.  My favorite place I've been is the Caribbean  because I love the crystal clear, blue waters. My favorite part about being a teacher is getting to work with so many different students and seeing the amazing work you do. You all continue to amaze each and every day!
