Welcome to Ustick!

I am sure you are curious about your child's 1st grade teacher.  I am married and we have a daughter that has attended Ustick Elementary K-5.  Amelia attended Lowell Scott Middle School and is currently attending Centennial High School.  She keeps John, my husband, and I very busy with all of her extra-curricular activities in Centennial Sweet Liberty Dance Team,  piano, religion class, and Senior Girl Scouts. 

I have taught at Ustick elementary for the past sixteen years.  I have my BA and Ma in Education and Special Education both from BSU.  For the last eleven years I have taught first grade and I have also taught second grade for one year.  I have really enjoyed being in the classroom.  Before that, I taught four years in the Special Education extended resource room at Ustick.  Overall, I have taught fifteen of my soon to be twenty-eight years in education within special education for the Meridian School District.  Part of those fifteen years in special education, eight to be exact, I was a special education consulting teacher.  I have also been an adjunct professor and supervisor for five years at NNU.  I have taught district workshops and have mentored new teachers within the district.  This is my twelfth  year as a fist grade teacher and I love teaching first grade!  I was Ustick's "Teacher of the Year" in 2005-2006.  I am very excited about this year and I am looking forward to the school year.
