Dear Fourth Graders and Parents,
Welcome to Happy Hollow Elementary! I am looking forward to meeting everyone and getting to know more about you as we work together in the classroom. Let me tell you a little about myself. I spent the first eight years of my teaching career in the West Lafayette School Corporation. I "retired" when our first child was born. My husband and I have three children. Carmen is 15, Ben is 11 and Jillian is 8 1/2. Our family also includes a cute little pygmy hedgehog named Dexter. You'll get to meet the little critter this year! We all love to travel. This summer we took a trip to West Virginia where we got to go white water rafting and ziplining! In my free time I like to cook, read, garden, and spend time with family and friends.
As a parent and a teacher, I appreciate the importance of information. I will use this site to keep you informed about what we are doing in class and how you can help your child at home, so check back frequently. Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns. Fourth grade is a year of many transitions, so I want to work with you as we help your child grow in knowledge and personal responsibility.
