Workplace
Began student-teaching in Charleston, IL. Moved back to CA in 1983 and subbed for 2 years. Took a permanent position in 9/85 teaching Elementary Special ...Expand for more
Ed. Stayed with Lancaster School District for 13.5 years. Moved to Montana and took 1.5 years off. Missed the kids so much that I wanted back in a classroom. Took a HS SpEd. job in Western Washington in March of 1998. Stayed in that position for 4.5 years. Left that particular school district for Bremerton SD and absolutely love the place/people/kids/teaching philosophy there and have taught there for the last 8 years. I have also mentoring numerous new teachers and have taken on several special projects for the District. Even after teaching for 28 years, it is a great adventure.
My husband and I had no children of our own, but I became step-mother of 7 and grandmother of 9 the day we married! The latest count is 16 grandchildren and 7 greatgrands. Wouldn;t trade those kids for anything.
Hope to hear from any friends from the Class of '76!
