I have been a teacher in the Arlington School District for 20 years, and an educator for 26 years.  How time flies! Many of these years have been teaching fourth grade, and one year teaching third grade.  In my spare time I enjoy music, soccer, hiking, cooking, and art. I also am often found reading around my house.  My husband and I love the beauty of the Hudson Valley.  I have a ten year old daughter who is beginning fifth grade this year.
