Communication Facilitator
My favorite snack is chips and salsa, and I also love York Peppermint Patties, dark chocolate, and Dr Pepper.
I love crocheting and started my crochet business at the end of last year! I love all things crafty and am very good at “procraftinating.” I’ve been working for DISD since 2009, married, I have a dog named Roo, 2 grown stepdaughters, and 2 grandkids.
If things like this are in good shape, feel free to take them. I am happy to come to your room to look at something that you may have a questions about.
Proposed Calendar for 23-24
