    Hello!  I am so pumped to be starting my 11th year of teaching PE and my 2nd year as a Cardinal!  I grew up in Punxsutawney, Pa, Home of Groundhog Day, went to college at Slippery Rock University and then transplanted south with my husband.  We have a spunky 6 year old daughter, 3 dogs and a cat.  I love going to the gym, playing volleyball, off-roading and cheering on the Handley Judges football team on Saturdays!
