Garden Plain Elementary

This is my 11th year at GPES.  I am teaching Middle School science (for the 4th year) – this includes electives like Forensic Science, the Human Body, and STEAM classes!!! I am so excited to continue exploring the world of science with the awesome students of GP!  I will also be the Scholar’s Bowl coach again this year. Let’s make this a great year!!

I have done a lot of substitute teaching in my day - PreK all the way up to high school.  I love every age group!  I have also been a Title 1 reading para for K-3 grades, a varsity football cheerleading coach, a youth director at my former church for both middle & high school groups, a youth choir director, a VBS teacher, a swimming/WSI instructor, an Odyssey of the Mind coach, B.O.B. coach and 7 years as a 5^th grade teacher. I am also proud to have received Elementary Teacher of the Year for USD 267 last year! What can I say?? I LOVE TEACHING!!!
