I have been teaching in District 300 for twenty-four years.  Nine of those years have been at Hampshire Elementary.  All twenty-four years have been in my favorite grade - fourth grade! My husband Jim is the principal at Hampshire Middle School. Both of our grown children are educators, also. I am looking forward to the 2011-12 school year.

My undergraduate degree is from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.  Concordia University in Chicago is where I graduated with a master's degree in Elementary Education.  I have continued to take workshops and classes to stay current with best teaching practices at the elementary level.
