Mrs. F                    

     I was born and raised in Spring Hill, Kansas and have lived here in Garnett with my husband and three kids, Marissa (College Sophomore), Dustin (enlisting in the military), and Brayden (6^th grade) for 12 years now.  My parents live in the area along with my brother and his wife. nj

     I graduated with my BA from Ottawa University in July 2008 and my MA in Mathematics Education from Western Governors University in 2015.  I have taught 4^th, 5^th, and now 2^nd grade.  This is my 15^th year teaching!!!  WOW!  15 years!  That’s crazy!  LOL!  I love spending time with family, friends, cheering on the CHIEFS, swimming, watching TV shows, and I enjoy crocheting.  My favorite snacks are TAKE 5 bars, cutie oranges, and Mountain Dew.  YUM!    This is my eleventh year in                                    **Please call or email me if you have any questions or concerns with your child. Seesaw is always the best way of communication!
