A little about me: This is my 20th year of teaching with 4 of these years in preschool.  I attended EIU and received a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education and then obtained a Master's Degree in Education from Olivet Nazarene.  After teaching Special Education, I returned to EIU and got a preschool endorsement.  I have been married to Darrell for 36 years.  We have 2 children, Kristi and Tyler and 3 grandsons. Owen and Daniel who will be 3 in November and Grant who will be 2 also in November.
