I have been teaching for more than 21 years, but this is my first year teaching in the 4th grade and what a delight it is!!  My degree is in Elementary and Special Education with an emphasis with emotionally disturbed children.  I have been with the Challis School District for two years, but our four children have attended Challis School District since 2012.  

I had been away from teaching for six years to run a Christian Conference and Retreat Center here in Central Idaho.  Now I am happy to be back in the classroom and working with children again.  Being away from teaching has made me realize how thankful I am to be able to instruct students and make an everlasting impact on so many lives.

Challis, Idaho is surrounded by mountains, fresh air and beautiful people.  I am happy to be a part of such a wonderful community.

Our motto in our classroom is:  Today I will learn because I have the courage to take risks.  I am brilliant, creative, and focused.  I will take ownership of my work and respect others, and together we will grow!  These are words that bring LIFE and create a positive environment in our classroom.

Please come by and visit us.  I know you will love what you see!
