Welcome!  I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year in second grade. I have taught in the Waynesville School District since 2006.  I started my career in second grade and then moved to first grade for 8 years and have now moved back to second.

 

I am married to John Snider.  My daughter, Amanda Ross, is a teacher at Freedom Elementary. Her husband, Ted, is retired Army. My daughter, Courtney, currently lives and works. My six grandchildren are Preston, Aubrey, Noah, Addy, Levi and Oliver.

 

I am a graduate of the Waynesville R-VI School District and have lived in the area for the majority of my life.  I was actually a student at East Elementary.  My mom was born and raised here and met my dad when he was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood many years ago.  I have two sisters and a brother.  

 

My favorite hobby is to read.  I read almost a book daily during summer break and I hope to instill in my students a love of books and reading.  I also like to travel, especially to the beach.
