My husband, Brad, teaches Fitness and Wellness at Martin Meylin Middle School in the Lampeter-Strasburg School District.  He is also the high school wrestling coach there.  My oldest, Jackson, is 14 years old.  He is in 9th grade this year.  Mason is 12 years old and in 7th grade.  Jemacyn is 8 and is a 3rd grader this year. 


Teaching: I started teaching 2nd grade in 2001 at Schaffer Elementary in the Manheim Township School District located in Lancaster County.  The following year I was hired to teach 3rd grade at Nottingham Elementary.  The year after that I looped to 4th grade.  My fourth year of teaching brought me back to teaching 3rd grade again. I have been teaching third grade ever since. I love it!!
