Hi Everyone! Thank you for visiting our classroom website!

I am originally from Canisteo, New York. "Home of the WORLD FAMOUS LIVING SIGN". A large formation of trees forms CANISTEO on the hillside behind the elementary school. I'd be interested if you have actually seen or heard of it before:). Canisteo is a beautiful valley in the southern tier. Standing at any point in the town you can see lovely hillsides.  I still visit my Mom and siblings as often as I can.

My husband Dennis and I enjoy raising our three beautiful children in Chili, NY. Dylan is 21yrs. old and a senior at Nazareth College and plays on the men's soccer team there. He enjoys sports, the New England Patriots and euchre.  Tanner is 18 years old and a freshman at RIT. He enjoys sports (especially baseball), bowling and golf.  He loves the outdoors and would spend all day fishing or hunting, if it was an option.  Abbey is 17 years old and a senior in high school. She is a busy girl who loves soccer and lacrosse. Friends and family are very important to her.  She also enjoys fishing and being outdoors.  We are truly blessed to have such joys in our lives.  They keep us going and we wouldn't have it any other way.

My interests are: spending time with family and friends, singing,  baking, cooking, playing euchre, watching my children play sports, shopping and reading.

I am extremely patriotic as many of my family members have served or are currently serving our country.  Please keep our soldiers in your thoughts as we hope they all return safely.

I hope you enjoy the website.
