Who is Mrs. Child
I graduated from Jordan High School (last graduating class of the old school.) I then went on to Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, where I graduated with my BA i in English and Secondary Education and a minor in French. I took a job teaching at Alta High School, and I've been happily planted there for 12 years. Then I became a mother, and I decided I wanted to work closer to home, so I moved to Westlake.
I have been teaching English for 19 years, and I love every minute of it. I have a Reading Endorsement from BYU, and an ESL Endorsement from the U. I have also earned my National Board Certification. Last year I was awarded the Accent on Excellence Teaching Award for Alpine School District.
On the personal side of things, I have been married for 15 years to my husband Tony, and I have two darling little boys: Jack who is 9 and Thompson who is 5. We are also the proud parents of a Double Doodle puppy named Scout.
In my spare time I love to read books about almost anything. Some of my favorites include To Kill a Mockingbird, Harry Potter, The Great Gatsby, A Fine Balance, The Grapes of Wrath, The Kite Runner, The Help, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and I could go on and on and on. I also love to watch movies with my husband as well as play with Jack. As much as I hate to admit it, I love TV. I am a fan of Gilmore Girls, any Law and Order, The Goodwife, Modern Family, Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife, and Parenthood. Just because I love these shows doesn't mean I get to watch them as often as I would like. I also consider being a teacher a hobby.
