Meet Mrs. Grace
Welcome to my page. I am so happy that I have an opportunity to work with so many wonderful people. Thank you for sharing your children with me. It has always been my desire to teach. Do you remember a teacher that made you laugh, maybe a teacher that you thought pushed you too hard? How about something they said and you never forgot that?
Teachers do make a difference. It is my goal to be the teacher that makes your child laugh, to push your child to be his or her best and to use positive words that they will never forget. I know we are going to have a great year.
A Little about me.......
I grew up in Moosic and graduated from Riverside High School. I live in Moosic with my husband Paul and our three dogs Gracie, Mikey and Nelly. We recently adopted three kittens that I found on the playground shivering and abandoned. They are thrivig and yes, they get along well with my dogs. We love animals!
I graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Special Education- Go Lions! After graduating from PSU I attended the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM where I became certified in Regular Education. I also taught K-4th grade at Kirtland Air Force Base.
Before joining Riverside School District I worked with the NEIU #19 for five years teaching 9-12th grade students with Emotional Disturbances. I graduated from Wilkes in May 2008 with my Master's in Educational Leadership. I am in my 26th year of teaching!
