About Me

 I am a 55 year old mother of eight. I have been married for 37 years and my childrens ages range from 35 to 14 and we have ten grandchildren. I started working in the public school system eight years ago when my husband retired. I quickly realized I loved working with special children. I have been an aide to a wide range of chidren with disabilities. I am in a wonderful school system where the principal treats us all as team members and makes sure we recieve any education we want or need to better service our students. I look forward to sharing not just that education but life experience from raising eight children of my own.
