Additional Information
I was a Stay at Home mom for 20 years, with the exception of the part time employment at the preschool. During that time, I maintained a home, managed household finances, coordinated family events, and watched over daily routines for our family of six. I volunteered at school and church functions, and I was a part of a Mothers of Preschoolers group, where I was the chair for membership. I really enjoyed being involved in that program and loved welcoming new members. I have enjoyed becoming a part of the Lapel community through my children, their activities, and my job at the elementary school. I now have two children in college and two in high school, so working at the school has filled a spot I didn't know I needed filled.
