Hi everyone!  I hope you guys had a wonderful summer!  I'm looking forward to another year of teaching 3rd grade at Sweet Springs R-7!  I can't believe this will be my sixth year of teaching!  Time really does fly!  In case some of you all aren't familiar with who I am here's a little bit about myself.
    I grew up in Marshall, MO with my parents (Ron and Stephanie) and my three brothers (Jared, Quentin, and Hunter).  Being the only girl wasn't always fun, but it had its perks! Haha.  I graduated from Marshall High School in 2009 and then graduated from Missouri Valley College in 2013 with a degree in Elementary Education.  In my free time I really enjoy exercising!  You'll probably see me walking after school with my walking buddies (Mrs. Hartley and Mrs. Crank) quite often.  I love taking Zumba classes (TRY IT!  You'll have so much fun!) and going to the YMCA every chance I get!  I also love spending time with my family, my boyfriend Joshua, and our two dogs.  Puddles Ray (miniature poodle) and Copper (beagle/basset hound) are quite the pair!  I always have stories to tell about them, so be ready!  :)
      I can't wait to see my new group of kiddos August 16th!!!!
