I am so happy to be part of the Bucklin USD 459 family.
I will be living at 422 W. Cedar, as will my youngest daughter who is 17. She graduated from High School in May and will be taking a few online courses. Her name is Sylvia but she prefers to be called Valentyne.
My son, Jacob (25) and daughter Mara (20) both live in Garden City. My 70+ year old mother lives with them and will visit me often.
I love all animals. At one time I had rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and a snake. Don't worry, only a cat or two will be moving with me.
I have been in education for 20+ years and have been a para, a teacher ( I have taught Kinder -9th grades), an assistant principal and for the last 4 years principal of Charles Stones Intermediate Center in Garden City. At Stones, we had 400 fifth and 6th graders. Plus, Stones was the behavior school for grades 5-8 and the special education site for the severely mentally handicapped.
I loved every minute of being principal and would have stayed gladly, but God led me to Bucklin and I am so excited.
I love to read, watch movies and 2D felt...it is so fun. I also paint (dabble in it) as well.
I look forward to meeting everyone. I have an open door policy, so if you need me, reach out.
