Jan Armstrong Berry

Since '74? New Trier High School '78, Colorado College (BA in Psych & Teaching License) '82, UCCS (MA in Teaching Reading) '89, U of Phoenix (Principal License) '05

Married in '83, twins in '92, third son in '94, divorced in '96. Met Bob in '97, married him in '99, blended our families - hardest work ever!

I've been teaching since '83 - elementary school then Literacy Resource Teacher, Assistant Principal, Principal, and now working at central administration as an Assessment Facilitator. Love the kids and teachers, hate the politics.

Miss Feldman throwing erasers at the talkers in class (4th grade)

Miss Shane's "green" hair (5th grade)

Mr. Castle liked looking down girls' shirts

Mr. Timm caught me cheating on a science test!

Mr. Towner - what more can I say? He was my role-model.

Running for class president 24 years after my dad was class president at Central. "74 - a year to give more!" And Jock Rabinovitz: Be a supporter; Vote for Jock!"

The skating rink, chasing boys and grabbing their stocking caps, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass blasting from the warming house.

Sailing dad's sunfish at Glencoe Beach; smoking cigarettes on the boat and getting "sea" sick.

31, Big Al's, Triangle Park & 4th of July, working at Rehn's Pharmacy, watching Exorcist with Ellen Moore and getting caught by my sister.

Washington D.C. - staying up all night, feeling like I was hallucinating at the US Mint 'cuz I was so tired, thinking Mr. Hamilton was sooo cool!

There's probably more I'll remember, but I'm boring you...
