I grew up in Rome, Georgia and attended the University Georgia.  While there I worked at the faculty day care center helping students with their homework.  That experience helped me realize that working with children was what I wanted as a career.  After graduation I began teaching in Bremen, GA. where our Assistant Principal, Leigh Munson , attended.  Yes, Mrs. Munson was one of my students for a short time.  Now, I'm working for her!
                I left Breman, GA. and moved to Newnan in 1976, where I lived for the past 30 years.  My husband, Bob, is the Principal at Lee Middle School and we have raised three children.  Thomas is 26, a former Navy Petty Officer.  His wife, Jocelyn, is serving in Iraq with her Medical Unit.  Rachel is a recent graduate of Clemson University, and is working in Chattanooga.  Lee is a student at Ga. Southern in Statesboro, majoring in Special Education.
                This is my 31st year of teaching.  Having spent the last 21 years at Moreland has been a wonderful blessing for me and my family.  I enjoy the experiences of teaching children of former students.  Being one of the "old timers" brings the realization that with the upcoming renovation I will have been here through three renovations.  At least the building is older than I am! 
                Riding horses has been a life long love of mine and I also enjoy traveling, and painting pottery in ceramics.  One of my most important jobs outside the classroom is being a CASA (CourtAppointed Special Advocate for foster children).
