TEACHING FUTURE LEADERS
A Little About Me
I graduated from Mid America Nazarene University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have been teaching at Eisenhower for 8 years now and I love kindergarten!
My husband and I live in Bucyrus, Kansas with our sweet daughter. We love to be outside riding horses, camping, or just enjoying the fresh air!
​
A few of my favorites:
- Flowers
- Chipotle
- Going on walks
- ICE drinks
- Reading
- Target
What's Happening?
Take a moment to review our daily schedules below. I also want to make sure you hear about all the important and exciting updates happening, so I will add a newsletter here each week with important information involving you and your child.

The Leader in Me
As a school district, USD 207 has adopted a social-emotional curriculum: The Leader in Me. The Leader in Me (TLiM) focuses on 7 Habits. We will be learning about these habits as a class throughout the year and how to apply them to our lives both at school and at home.
​
While working on these in school it's important to create a leadership community within your home as well. We will send home different family connection activities this year!
