Mrs. Furest

Welcome to Third Grade!

I've been teaching at Pickford for several years now, and I can say Panthers are the best! I have extensive experience teaching grades 3-6 in New York, Chicago, Detroit, and the Upper Peninsula. All of my experience was wonderful, but I am most at home here in the U.P.

I LOVE teaching my students. My goal is to help them grow during the year they are with me, and to help them love school.

A little about me:

Family: I'm happily married to my high school sweetheart. Joshua and Jacob are my sons. Billy and Addisyn are my step-children. Our three sons live across the nation; San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Marquette. Addie is a middle school student in the Sault.

School: I graduated from Valparaiso University with a Bachelors in Music Education. I also hold three Master's Degrees in Education. Being a teacher means you are a lifelong learner. <3

Pets: It is no shock that I love chickens! I wasn't raised in a rural area, but once I started with chickens up here, I haven't turned back. I also have two Border Collies, Nate and Dave. In addition, we have five cats.
