Welcome to 5th Grade. This is my sixth year of teaching at Northwood and my tenth year overall.  I have a Masters degree in Education and recently finished my second Master degree in Administration.  I have been married for nine years and I have three children Augustine, (patron saint of theologians) Cecilia, (patron saint of music) and Sebastian (patron saint of athletes).  In the summer I spend much of my time playing with my family and painting (inside and out).  I am a North Canton grad and I had straight A's in school.  My B's were crooked, but my A's were straight!  

I would like to encourage all parents to check your child's "Take Home Folder" each night for communication items from me and the school. The students' planner is a valuable communication tool as well, so be sure to check it to see nightly homework assignments. We take the time every afternoon to fill out the planner together, so if you notice blank pages night after night, please let me know. I hope that showing you the planner will become each child's personal responsibility.

Please feel free to email me any time for classroom questions.

Education is the period during which I was being instructed by somebody I did not know, about something I did not want to know.

--G. K. Chesterton

To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it. -- Mother Teresa

Everything worth doing...
Starts with being scared.
