Cedar Elementary
Second Grade
Introduction:
This will be the start of my 5th year here at Cedar Elementary! My first year I taught Kindergarten and have now spent the last three years teaching second grade! I have absolutely loved both grade levels and truly enjoy the excitement in a child's eyes when they learn something new!
My husband Brent and I have been married now for two years. He is a great salesman at Beatrice Ford...so if you're looking for a new vehicle do I have the guy for you!
About a year ago in July we got a puggle puppy that we named Bently and she is our daily dose of fun! She absolutely loves going for walks and rolling in the grass.
In our free time, Brent and I love watching Husker football, Saltdogs baseball, and hanging out outside.
