Welcome!

 

Here's where I get to write a little about myself. However, instead of writing a paragraph about myself, I'm going to play to one of my strengths:  list making.

 

  •  I have been a teacher at Highland Park since 1996.

 

  •  I live in the Hyland neighborhood.

 

  •  I'm married to Tim Leyden, a teacher (and great guy) at Beaverton High School.

 

  •  We have two beautiful, smart, funny daughters

 

  •  I love to travel, entertain friends and family,   make puns and teach.

 

 

  •  I have the same lunch almost everyday -- roast beef and pepper jack cheese roll-up and an apple.

 

  •  I love coffee, but only in the morning, and I love chocolate, all the time.

 

  •  I love the smell of freshly peeled oranges, but don't really enjoy eating them!

 

  •  My favorite books are all the Harry Potter books, The Help, All the Broken Pieces, The Secret Life of Bees, and everything by Sharon Creech.

 

  •  I lived in Europe (in Poland) for two years with my husband and I dream of visiting Africa and Australia.
