I live in Canton, South Dakota; and I have been teaching at Lawrence Elementary School since 1994.  For six years I taught second grade, and this is my twelfth year teaching third graders. 
     I am happily married to my husband Bob, who is an electrical contractor in Canton.  We are the proud parents of three grown children, two beautiful daughters-in-law, 1 handsome son-in-law, and 9 wonderful grandchildren.  Some of my favorite things to do include:  doing anything with my family (especially playing with our grandchildren), working on things for school, reading, experimenting with photography, and working (or playing!) at the computer.  (Click on our picture to see a larger view.)
