Hello and welcome to my class.  I'm very excited about the beginning of a new school year and excited to meet all of my new students and their families. This will be my 22nd year teaching at Meadowbrook.  I grew up in Alton, but have made my home for the last 30 years in Bethalto.  I have three daughters and 6 grandchildren.  My hobbies are reading, cooking and scrapbooking.  I love to travel, and my all time favorite place to visit is Walt Disney World!!
