My Goldbug career began when I was student teaching second graders at Lincoln Elementary School. Then I was privileged to teach awesome fifth and sixth grade Goldbugs at Lincoln Elementary School for twenty years. Twenty-two more years were spent with outstanding second and third graders as principal at Longfellow Elementary School and as a Central Office Administrator. Goldbugs allowed me to be honored as an Outstanding Student Teacher, Lincoln Teacher of the Year, Alva Teacher of the Year, Woods County Teacher of the Year, and District Teacher of the Year. Thank you, Goldbugs!
My Goldbug family includes two Goldbug sons, a Goldbug daughter-in-law, three Goldbug granddaughters and a future Goldbug great granddaughter. My non-Goldbug family includes a daughter-in-law, a granddaughter, a grandson and a great granddaughter.
I’ve been married for eleven years to an amazing Alva Goldbug, Warren Little. To our marriage he brought three more Goldbug daughters, two sons-in-law, nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren, with two more on the way! After forty-two years as an Alva educator, I truly feel like a Goldbug! Thank you for naming me an honorary Goldbug.
