One of my favorite quotes on education is from William Butler
Yeats that states, “Education is not the filling of a pail,
but the lighting of a fire.” As the principal of Spring Hill
Elementary, I have the good fortune of being in the classrooms
each day seeing our teachers and staff lighting the fire of
learning with students.
I’m in my first year as principal at Spring Hill
Elementary. Prior to the 2007-2008 school year, I served as
assistant principal at SHES for three years. I have a Bachelor
of Arts in Elementary Education from Ottawa University and
completed my Master’s in School Administration from the
University of Kansas. I spent many years in the classroom as a
teacher primarily at the 4th and 5th grade
level. Even as an administrator, whenever I get the opportunity,
I love jumping into the classroom and teaching a lesson!
I am the mother of two children Addie and Jace. My hobbies
include traveling, exercising, going to concerts, cooking,
entertaining, landscaping, decorating and spending time with
family and friends.
Some of my favorite things:
Color: Purple
Food: Fajitas and guacamole
Travel Destination: Colorado
Song: Anything by James Taylor, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart and
Mr. Stinky Feet (Jim Cosgrove)
Children’s Movie: Monster’s Inc. and Flushed Away
Children’s Book: The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by
Jon Scieszka
Season: Fall
It is a pleasure to be a part of your child’s education.
I’m looking forward to a great 2008-2009 school year.
