Hello everyone and welcome to my page!
This is my 8th year working in the Ashland School District and starting my 5th year as a Special Education Teacher. I began my career as a school social worker and immediately knew that I wanted to work in this school system forever!
I love being around people and spending time with family. I enjoy all things coffee, swimming and sometimes a good snow day.
I look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kirby
