Hello! My name is Deanne. I have been teaching for thirty years for Virginia Beach City Public Schools. I have taught second grade, third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade. I have an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, and a Master’s Degree in Education. I have been married for 29 years and have two daughters. My daughter, Kayla is a senior at VA Tech. She will be graduating this year. My youngest daughter is a junior at McDaniel College in Maryland. She has played travel softball since she was eight years old. She has continued to play softball at the collegiate level. She is a pitcher on her team. I love to read and swim. I also love to watch baseball and softball. I am so excited to be a kindergarten teacher at LeafSpring this year. I have always wanted to teach kindergarten and my dream has come true! I love to teach and believe all children need to feel safe and happy. My goal for this year is to have every child in my class feel safe, confident, respected, and excited to come to school every day. I am looking forward to meeting all of the wonderful families at LeafSpring!!!!
