Truly Looking Forward

Truly Looking Forward

I am truly looking forward to returning to my "roots", and reuniting with classmates who were in my Monroe Elementary School, Roosevelt Jr.High Hamilton High and even Central State University. I give much credit to the many educational and community experiences in Hamilton which led to a successful 45 years of service in education, 22years in Minneapolis, Minnesota, 18 years in Ohio, Michigan, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia and 5 years as a"at home" mom. I began my career as an elementary teacher At Jefferson Elementary in Hamilton. I was blessed to have begun my teaching career with my first grade teacher Mrs. Ralston who became my mentor and colleague. Other rich teaching experiences followed at the middle school, high school and college levels. I ended my career as an elementary principal.
My marriage blessed me with a daughter, Mitzi and a son Scott. I have one grandson, Matthew Scott and another grandchild due May 10,2007.
Since my retirement June 30,2007, I have enjoyed spending time with friends, family especially my grandson as well as working in my church with the Senior's Ministry and serving on a Technology High
