What am I most looking forward to at Edgerton?
Meeting new families. Having a new building. Being in on the decision making! Having the best staff in the district!
Activities I enjoy when not spending time with work:
I love reading, running, biking and watching movies! I love spending the day with my husband, Chris, and our cat Quincy.
Places I enjoy traveling (or want to travel) to:
I loved backpacking through Europe two summers ago! We would go back in a heartbeat (if we could afford it!). I especially loved Scotland, London and Italy!
We enjoy traveling to Ashland, Oregon too for the Shakespeare Festivals!
A few of my favorites (movies, food, restaurants, etc.):
Movie - Love Actually, Moulin Rouge and Anne of Green Gables
Food - ice-cream and goldfish crackers (but NOT together!)
Restaurants - Olive Garden and Reyna's Mexican (on Garfield Street near PLU)
Sports I love to watch/follow - Soccer (especially English Premier League), Hockey and the Tour de France!
TV shows - Grey's Anatomy!!! CSI, The Dead Zone and Without a Trace
A book I would recommend:
Professional - The Essentials of Teaching Reading, Primal Leadership, First Six Weeks of School and Reading for Meaning
Leisure - Shopaholic series, Broken For You, Good Grief, the Harry Potter books and the da Vinci Code
A quote that has personal meaning to me:
"Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever." - Lance Armstrong
"No one automatically gives you respect just because you show up. You have to earn it." - Lance Armstrong
Something interesting that others may not know about me:
I have been to 10 midnight movie premier showings (2 Star Wars, 3 Lord of the Rings, 2 Matrix, 2 Harry Potter and 1 X-Men) and I taught school the next morning for all but one show!
