Teachers connect with students outside of the classroom on a regular basis. Their passion and enthusiasm shows in how they share their time, talents, and resources.

Where did you go to high school and college?
I went to New Richmond High School,
University of Toledo with a BA in Psychology, and a BE in Education
Bowling Green State University with a Masters in Special Education and a reading endorsement.
What grade/s and classes do you teach?
I teach grades 9-12 as an intervention specialist. I teach multiple subjects depending on what our kids might need. I co-teach with general education teachers as well as maintain support for those students who are mainstreamed within the general education classroom.
I help out occasionally with the Archery club. I wrote the grant for grant from the Ohio Division of Wildlife in order for the school to get “free” archery equipment including bows, targets, nets, bow boxes, quivers, arrows, etc. for Montpelier Schools. I also volunteer to do Saturday school on occasion.
What is the best thing about Montpelier Schools?
The best thing about Montpelier Schools is students and the staff. The students make teaching a great profession to do and the staff here at Montpelier go above and beyond to meet the needs of their students.
As a district we are working hard to save the district money. What are some ways that you help save money at school?
A lot of lessons are performed through technology with allows for less printing and copying thus saving money. When I go to professional development, I do not ask for reimbursement for mileage, etc. This year I have bought a lot of classroom supplies from my own salary. This year I bought a series of novels to use in the classroom because I knew it would interest my students and keep them engaged in reading and learning. Help “volunteer” for the Archery club when I am able to. My husband has donated his time and supplies to make items for the wresting auction and the archery team.
