About Me This is my 26th year to teach Physical Education at A.V. Cato Elementary. I am a proud graduate of Abilene Christian University where I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Physical Education. I am also a proud graduate of Texas Christian University where I received a Masters of Education Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Reading.
I grew up playing sports. My favorite was fast pitch softball!! I played 14 years straight and then coached a few years with my Dad and cousin. My main position was pitcher, but if I wasn't pitching I was usually catching. I loved both!
I love going to TCU sporting events to support my Frogs!!
The last 3 years I've gotten to blow the TCU Frog Horn 90 minutes before the first game, to start off the new football season!!
First Grade was my favorite grade of all time. I had the sweetest teacher named Mrs. Bassinger! I just loved her! When I graduated from Abilene Christian University, I receive a special call from her. She let me know how proud she was of me and that she was happy that I had chosen to become a teacher. Teachers can have a big impact on a child's life just like she had on mine. She made learning fun!! I am the one on the top row in the red shirt.
This is my individual First Grade picture. I've always called this my "Frog Smile"! Do you notice the color I am wearing? I think I was destined to be a Horned Frog!
