A New Year!

     The start of school is always an exciting time! This year, all of the teachers were asked to create a short presentation for their webpages to give parents and students an overview of what is taught in their classes. I used an app called Tellagami to create a cartoon version of myself to share with my technology students.

When I showed it to my classes, I heard several times..."Can't you change the hair color?" "Why did you make your hair brown?" "Shouldn't your hair be gray?" Ahhh...out of the mouths of babes. 

     But it's the truth! My hair is turning gray. I am getting older. I have been at Hanover-Horton for a long time! I am starting my 28th year in the district. I have taught 7th and 8th grade math, 4th grade, storytime and technology. I was the district's media specialist for 11 years. I was a middle school track coach and a high school class advisor. So it is true. I am getting older! But one of the things I love most is seeing the children of my former students here at H-H. I've been in the area long enough that it truly feels like home. That is one of the main reasons that both of my sons graduated from Hanover-Horton. So let the gray hair grow! I'm happy to be where I belong...at Hanover-Horton.
