ABOUT THE TEACHER: I was born in Trenton, New Jersey and raised in the Appalachian Mountains near Towanda, Pennsylvania. I graduated from East Texas State University in Commerce, Texas with a bachelor's degree in Business Education. I received my MBA (Master's of Business Administration) from Texas A&M-Commerce. My teaching experience includes 10 years in Business Education/Computers in Texas (high school level) along with 1 1/2 years experience in junior college level (computers). Since moving to Poteau, I have worked 1 semester in the Alternative Education program and 8 1/2 years at Pansy Kidd Middle School teaching Geography and Computers.  

I am married to Danny Clark and have 3 daughters; Samantha, Josie and Lisa. I also have 3 darling grandsons, Colton Joseph, Auston Laval, and Hunter James and 2 beautiful granddaughters, Jalyn Olivia and Jenna Sue.   Just ask me about them!  

I have 3 sons-in-law; Josie married Kevin Burchfield in Jamaica on September 3, 2004 and Samantha married Jason Parkhill on November 20, 2004, and Lisa married Jeremy Potter on New Year's Day, January 1, 2011 (1-1-11)!

It is my pleasure to be part of the Pansy Kidd staff and I look forward to another terrific year!
