Welcome to my world of tiny “creepy crawlies” and giant dinosaurs! Every
year I try to create a climate in my classroom that promotes an excitement for
learning and has a sense of “family”. We begin the year “going buggy” by raising
butterflies, ladybugs, and other insects. At the end of our “dino”mite year,
we’ll study dinosaurs. I graduated from Northern Illinois University and taught
first and second grades in Illinois before coming to Deer Creek.I am honored to have been a Deer Creek
Elementary Teacher of the Year and Deer Creek District Teacher of the Year. As a
Chartered Member of Prairie Vale Elementary, it was a privilege to be part of
establishing our present elementary. In 1997, I was selected as one of 100
teachers from Oklahoma to work towards National Board Certification, the highest
national standard in teaching. After a year of extensive assessments, 39 of us
were notified as achieving National Board Certification, the first in Oklahoma.
As an educator, I am charged with the awesome responsibility of teaching young
minds—and I continue to be enriched by this experience.
In 1990, my husband, Jerry, and I moved to Oklahoma with our children, Nicole
and Nathan. Jerry is in the insurance business with the Hartford and also
teaches insurance classes. Nicole and Nathan are both Deer Creek graduates.
Nicole has her Master’s Degree in Psychology from UCO and works for the State
Health Department. She is married to Roy Diehl and they have a daughter,
Cassandra Nicole. In March, Cassandra will welcome a little brother or sister
into their family! Roy graduated from OU with a degree in science education.
They live in Edmond where Roy is a science teacher with the Edmond Schools.
Nathan has his Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from OSU and works for
York International in Norman. He is married to Sarah, and they live in Edmond.
Sarah is a graduate of OSU in business and works for Tinker. She received her
Master’s Degree in Business from UCO. Nathan and Sarah have a black lab named
Pistol Pete. When they get Pete trained, they’ll think about having children!
Life really does not get any better than having your “babies” find the love of
their life-- and having grandchildren!
