Welcome to Sixth Grade
Hello Chargers, I am honored to be joining the staff at Apex Friendship Middle in its inaugural year! Before becoming a Charger, I sailed the seas as a 5th grade teacher for the Scotts Ridge Elementary Sailors here in Apex. For twenty-one years, I have had the privilege of working as a teacher in our beautiful state of North Carolina. It is hard to believe it has been that long, I guess when you love what you do, time flies. I am originally from Syracuse, NY where I come from a family of educators. I graduated from Canisius College in Buffalo, NY where I received a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a minor in Social Studies grades six through nine.
My husband and I have two sons, one is even next door at Apex Friendship High, and when they both completed elementary school, my personal goal was to make the move to middle school. So here I am and like many of you, I am very excited to open a new middle school. Together we will make our inaugural year a memorable one. While I have been honored as a WCPSS Teacher of the Year Finalist and a WRAL Teacher of the Week, my greatest joy as a teacher is to have the opportunity to fill young minds with knowledge, to spark curiosity about the world we live in, to promote teamwork and kindness, and to instill a love of learning through reaching higher and achieving beyond expectations. May your middle school years be filled with learning, laughter, growth, and adventure!
Charge on and best wishes in the 2018 – 2019 school year!
