I have been a teacher in the Arlington School District for 20 years, and an educator for 27 years.  How time flies! Many of these years I have been teaching fourth grade, and one year teaching third grade.  In my spare time I enjoy music, soccer, hiking, cooking, and art. I am also often found reading around my house.  My husband and I love the beauty of the Hudson Valley.  I have a twelve-year-old daughter who is beginning seventh grade this year.
