A form will be going home next

week explaining details and

permissions needed.

I have been in the teaching world

for 15 years. My fiancée and I have known each other since

7th grade and have been together for over 5 years. I have

two daughters, Emily and Kaylie. I love to spend time outside

with my bassett hound Flash, or watching Emily play softball.
