We are also big Ravens fans, which can be tough for me because there is an abundance of Steelers fans here at CRMS! I try to support our team whether they win or lose, that is what a dedicated fan does.

I have one sister named Molly. She is a student at Salisbury University. I went to Salisbury, too, and am currently earning my Masters Degree there. In my free time (when I have any hahaha), I enjoy reading, bargain hunting, watching movies, cooking, gardening, and spending time with my friends and family. I have posted a list of some of my favorite books in the "Reading Rocks" tab. If you're stumped on what book to check out at the library, try one from my list! I also love it when students suggest books for me to read. I will be updating my page with new pictures and information as the year progresses. Here's to an awesome school year!
