This is my 29th year teaching as well as my 29th year at Givens (formerly the Computer School) teaching second grade! I love being a teacher for so many reasons.  I am married to Edward Cook and we have two children. Ed is an engineer and he works at Boeing. Our son Kyle is 21 years old. He is a senior at M-I-Z-Z-O-U! Our daughter Sarah is 19 years old and she is a sophomore at Mizzou. Yikes!  I still can't believe my husband and I are empty nesters!! Time goes by so fast!! They are both wonderful, happy, healthy kids.  Ed and I are very blessed. 
We also have a darling 14 year old miniture dachshund named FloJo.  FloJo loves to go for walks and she likes to swim too.

In my free time I love to go to Gov. Bond Lake and go boating, read, do PyYo and spend time with my family and friends.  I am also a huge St. Louis Blues fan and soccer fan.
