Entering my 26th year teaching, and the joy continues to grow. Absolutely love seeing the kids come into school with such joy and excitement. I greatly enjoyed seeing so many of my students from last year come by for a visit and was happy to meet this year’s group.

Happy 17th Anniversary to my most amazing wife. To this day, I will never forget that magical day, 20 years ago, when God brought us together from over 4,200 miles apart to meet on that magical day on the Island! After that, the rest is history! ❤️🥰🙏 🤗

Happy World Read Aloud Day! Today, I had the pleasure in bringing Mya McLure to first and second graders today at Tootin’ Hills Elementary School in Simsbury, CT. It was so great to see their excitement and engagement in the story. A great group of kids to say the least!
