I started my career teaching Kindergarten in McAlester at Washington Early Childhood Center in Aug. of 1992. I taught 11 years there. Then I moved to Will Rogers Elementary where I taught 2nd grade for 12 years. Next, I moved to Crowder, Ok. to teach 1st-3rd for 6 years. I’m excited about coming full circle and ending my career teaching Kindergarten once more.
I’ve been married to my wonderful husband Butch Petty for 31 years. We have three grown children Amanda Chronister, Justin Ardese, and Cody Petty. They each have their own families now and I love being a “MIMI” more than words can describe. I have six grandchildren and one on the way due in February. I have four “bonus” grandchildren as well.
I have two dogs named Soney and Sadi.
I love the Lord, my family, friends, and being out in nature.
I love to be in the mountains or on the beach.
I enjoy Geneology research.
I enjoy being with my family more than anything. Time is precious!
