This year marks my twenty-third year of teaching.  I received my B.S. degree in both Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Southeast Missouri State University.  Five years later, I received my Masters degree in Administration from William Woods University.  I have taught kindergarten, first grade, fourth grade and Title I Math at East Prairie Elementary before joining the staff at SFXS. This year, I will be teaching first grade reading and math, third grade math and also 5/6 grade English (grammar and writing) this year.  Teaching at St. Francis Xavier School has been a "breath of fresh air" for my teaching career. The parents are supportive and students are ready to learn.  Most importantly, Christ is the center of our school.  I love that! 

My planning time is from 1:30-2:00 from the beginning of school until September 15th.  After September 15th, my planning time will be from 9:30-10:00.  Please feel free to reach out to me during those times OR feel free to send a note with your child and I will contact you during one of those time periods. Please make sure you leave the best contact number for those times.
