Most of my professional experiences have been tied to Silver Lake. It has been my home and my heart for 15 of the last 16 years. I love the school, the kids, the staff, and the families. I love how happy people are to be at Silver Lake. A few people have been at Silver Lake with me forever . . . Sheri, Jen, Karen, Patti, Phyllis, Danna, Cynarra, and Ellena. My sister and all my sweet friends are here. We have seen principals color their hair and get dunked by the kids. We have seen weddings, babies, grandchildren, divorce, and loss together as a family. I love my job and I love the people I see every day. It is so evident that the people at Silver Lake know it is an amazing school. Just look at how many children of staff members attend or have attended SLE. Just off hand I can count at least 21 students who have parents working at SLE right now. Every team has at least one "teacher's kid". And the office. And the library. We are a family.
I am excited to embark on a new chapter in our history. We will soon choose our theme...our school of choice model. I can't wait to be a part of this new voyage! I see another super 16 years in my future at SLE!
