Ellen's Story
Life
I have been teaching since graduating from Temple University in 1972. I am currently a half-day kindergarten teacher and half day Early Childhood Coordinator for Perkiomen Valley School District. I live in Skippack, but the mailing address is Collegeville.
I have two children - Meg, who is 24, and Tony, who is 21.
I love pets and currently have a Chocolate Lab. My son attends Northwood University in West Palm Beach, Florida and has received a golf scholarship. He will study business and sport management. He would like to pursue his dream - professional golfer.
My daughter works at the Rhoads Garden in North Wales, PA. She does displays for the gift shop. She was not interested in college and decided to go that "artsy" route.
I would like to teach three more years and then retir...Expand for more
e (have to get my son out of college - it's expensive in West Palm Beach!) I have several "retirement" jobs in the works. I teach cake decorating and would like to continue with that. My school district wants to provide a pre-school program for economically disadvantaged children and I would consider coordinating it, using high school students as "teachers." Or maybe I'll just take some time off and try to relax (I don't seem to be able to do that).
I have thrown myself into my work and raising my pets and kids. I continue to enjoy shopping, old movies, music from our era, the beach and socializing with friends. I still have connections with the Roxborough area, as my father is still living there and I visit him often.
I would love hearing from any Roxborough High people, so give me a call or e-mail me!
