We always ask our children what they want to be when they grow up. For me, the answer was always "a teacher". I can remember setting up a school in our basement or garage and helping kids in my neighborhood work on reading skills. I am a product of Catholic Education from grade school through college. With many years of classroom experience and tutoring, I hold degrees in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, and I am a Master Teacher with Reading as my specialty. We proudly supported our own four children through the Xavier Catholic School System in Cedar Rapids. Faith, Family, Friends. A great experience!
