Pre-School

I began working with preschool students as an aide during the 1993-1994 school year. I enrolled in early childhood classes and received my two year certificate as a preschool teacher. I began teaching in January of 1994 at which time I enrolled in classes and received my certificate as a Program Director.

My husband Gordie and I have been married for twenty-five years. We love to camp and spend most of our summer at our camping resort in Plymouth. I also enjoy painting ceramics and I teach country line dancing two nights a week. I have been line dancing for twenty years. We have lived in Racine for twenty-five years and are members of Peace Lutheran Church.

We have five children (four sons and one daughter). Our oldest son, Jim, his wife Amy and granddaughter Taylor live in Oshkosh. Our son Curt, his wife Kelly and grandson Nathan live in Racine. Clint, his wife Erica and two grandchildren, Luis and Mariah live in Joliet, Illinois. Our daughter Becky and granddaughter Kendyll live in Racine. Becky is back to college to pursue a Masters in early childhood education. She is also working at Concordia as my Aide. Our youngest son Craig is in the army stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas.
