7 things about me:

1.  I was born in Ireland, but came to the U.S. when I was just a few weeks old.

2.  My name (Eilis) is Gaelic (Irish).  It means Elizabeth and is pronounced I-Leesh.

3.  I have been married to Dave for 24 years.  We have three great kids.

4. I am very lucky to teach with wonderful friends.

5. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, but listened to other people and majored in Business.       Luckily, I got a second chance when I assisted in my youngest child's preschool class.

6. I am crazy about Mexican food, Pinterest, and going to beautiful places.
