I am currently the 5th grade teacher at Ford Elementary School. I love reading books, cooking, especially baking cakes, travelling, and most of all teaching. 

I hope that everyone is remaining safe during this COVID-19 pandemic. Please continue to practice social distancing, as well as sneezing and coughing in your elbow, washing and sanitizing your hands frequently.

Although we are not physically in school learning, the learning does not have to stop. Please see the district message below:

SLPS Academics team has created, printed and uploaded instruction support for students at every grade. Hard copies are being provided at the meal sites and have been uploaded to www.slps.org/keeponlearning.
