TEACHER OF THE WEEK
I grew up in Clyde, TX. and graduated from Angelo State University. I started my teaching career in Killeen before coming to Little Elm. I've taught 23 years of 4th grade. My oldest son, Clint, is a music major at UNT. Kolby is a sophomore in the band at LEHS. Shelby attends Lakeside MS and is in the band and plays volleyball. My husband of 21 years, Pete, is a police officer. I enjoy spending time with my family camping or playing games. My husband and I like to go bowling together or ride his motorcycle.
