Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy reading and scrap booking. I have an interest in health and fitness and try
to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating wisely and getting exercise on a regular
basis. I am a Weight Watchers leader and enjoy helping others learn how to work
towards a healthier lifestyle. I enjoy volunteering at my church with teaching
Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. I also enjoy being a part of volunteer
activities through my church and with other civic and community organizations.
Of course my deepest passion is TEACHING! I love helping children learn to love
LEARNING. I first taught Preschool at Danville Lutheran School for 3 years. I
came to Bismarck-Henning Elementary School in August 1997 and I taught
Kindergarten here for 12 years. Now I am entering my 15th year and for the third
time, am so very excited to be teaching 3rd Grade!
