Teacher of the Week: Mrs. Kaine
“
My husband Stephen and I will be celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary in April and we have two, very adorable and spoiled, goldendoodles named Cooper and Lincoln. We travel a lot with my parents and all of us scuba dive, which is one of my favorite things to do. I have a younger brother who is married with two boys and my nephews go to Morris Knolls (where I graduated from). I also have three step-daughters and my oldest is pregnant with my first grandchild. I am a very creative person and enjoy baking, crocheting, and cooking. However, what is closest to my heart is reading and writing – I am hoping to become a published author. I work part-time at a vet and have been a teacher for 24 years and am currently the co-advisor for Student Council. I love working with students because they show me a different way of looking at the world, they keep me in touch with everything current, and help me stay young. I love helping others learn and grow and being a teacher provides me with a way to do so.” -Mrs. Kaine
Congratulations to Mrs. Kaine, our 1/21 Teacher of the Week!
