Dear Parents and Students, 

Welcome to second grade!  I am looking forward to an awesome year! This is my 4th year teaching at Ptarmigan Ridge, and my 15th year of teaching. I have taught elementary grades k-5th grade during that time, and some of my favorite years have been my teaching years in 2nd grade. This is the best grade ever! My family and I live right here in Orting, and our kids go to school in Orting as well. I am looking forward to "diving in" to the school year with our class. I grew up in South Florida so my classroom sea theme takes me back to my childhood!
