I am starting my 12th year with the District and am excited to be here.  I love my new students because they bring classes to the District that we did not have before (like Orchestra in 6th grade and Latin in 8th grade).  I am originally from Illinois and ended up in Texas by way of California (10 years) and New Jersey (5 years).  While I do miss the change of seasons, I do not miss the snow.  :)
