Hiking, Cross Country Skiing, Snowshoeing, reading, travel, cooking, volunteering
I love to cook and to eat! I especially enjoy trying new ethnic foods. My favorite genre to read is historical fiction. I am an avid reader and I belong to a book club. I enjoy winter sports as well as golfing. Dancing is also a favorite activity. I like to move!
Directed over 25 plays
I started -The Sixth Grade Drama Club my first year of teaching, Any and all students were welcome to participate in whichever manner they chose. I was the director, choreographer and costume designer (with the help of my students). We would practice 3 days a week for six weeks and then perform for each grade level, culminating in a performance for family and friends with a cast party. This was definitly one of the highlights of my career!
