6th Grade Home Room
Hello to all my incoming students and their families. I am thrilled to be back for my fourteenth year at Little Flower School. This will be my forty-fourth year teaching in the Catholic schools. I first began my teaching career at St. Joseph School in Long Beach, California. I spent two years teaching middle school for the Sisters of St. Louis. I then moved to St. Mel's School in Woodland Hills, California. I taught middle school there for five years before starting my family and, subsequently moving to Reno, Nevada. In 1983, I began teaching at Our Lady of the Snows School, teaching middle school language arts, history, and religion. I spent ten years there as a middle school teacher and then was hired as the principal. I led the school as their principal for twelve years and then decided to retire. HA, HA. My retirement lasted only one year and, in 2005, I came to Little Flower. I have a long history at Little Flower because my children both spent eight years here. I LOVE LITTLE FLOWER AND I LOVE MY STUDENTS. I LOVE TEACHING. IT IS WHAT KEEPS ME ALIVE.
