I am a second grade teacher at Washington Ave. School in Chatham, NJ. I'm on a team of 5 teachers. We each have approximately 22 students. My family and I have lived in Chatham for 20 years. My husband and I are originally from RI. We are avid Red Sox fans. Go SOX! I have two children. My son and daughter-in-law are newlyweds who got married last year in Jamaica. They presently live in Pittsburgh where my daughter-in-law is in school working on her doctorate. My daughter is a Syracuse grad and a freelance photojournalist. I also have a Miniature Schnauzer named Roxie.
