🍎 Throughout your years at BASD, what is one of your favorite memories? Reading and writing are my passions, so my favorite memories are events that promoted literacy. Helping to plan and implement family literacy nights, Young Writers Camp, Poetry Live, literacy picnics, and a student publishing center were highlights of my career.
🍏 What are you going to miss the most? I will miss the excitement of kids making connections or discovering something new. I'll also miss collaborating with amazing colleagues who work so hard every day to help kids learn and grow.
❤️ What are your retirement plans? My retirement plans are to read more books, finish some house projects, stay active in our public library, and be open to whatever adventures come next!
👏🎓 Congratulations to these BHS graduates, Class of 2025!

🍎 Throughout your years at BASD, what is one of your favorite memories?
One of my favorite memories of BASD was when our class performed a whole school play called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We performed the play with Mrs. Duffy's class and Mr. Wagner's class. It was a blast! We would have rehearsals over our lunchtime on the stage. Another favorite memory I have was having extended kickball games at Washington and Clay Lamberton in my early years of teaching. My final favorite memory of BASD was being selected to go to Science World with Mr. Tincher.
🍏 What are you going to miss the most?
I am going to miss all of the back to school excitement at the beginning of the year. I will also miss seeing all of my friends and colleagues on a daily basis.
❤️ What are your retirement plans?
In retirement, I plan on spending time with our granddaughter, golfing, traveling, gardening, and teaching our dogs new tricks.

🌍💚 Our Kindergarteners just wrapped up a fun and meaningful unit all about Taking Care of the Earth! We explored where our garbage goes, how we can reduce waste, and why it's so important to look after our planet.
A huge thank you to our local Waste Management team for visiting our class, teaching us about garbage and recycling, and even giving the kids an up-close look at the garbage truck! 🚛 The students were fascinated and had so many great questions — thank you for making learning come alive!
BHS and BMS students had a great day at Friendship Day yesterday! Each student was able to participate in track and field events throughout the day. We had so much fun and our students even took 1st place in some of the running events! Safe to say it was truly one of the best days of the school year!
