Who am I?

I am Marilyn Querciagrossa.  I am the Technology Coordinator in Minooka Community Consolidated School District #201.  Previously, I taught computer skills for four years.  Before I became a computer lab teacher, I was an Elementary school teacher for twenty-six years.  I've taught all subjects at one time or another, including music and physical education.  I've taught children from kindergarten to eighth grade and adults.  In addition to being a teacher, I'm the mother of Mike, Tony, and Kim and the wife of Jerry.  I'm also "mom" to Dillon, who is a Papillon.  I like being Dillon's "mom", because he's always thrilled to see me, never gives me a hard time about anything, and loves to cuddle.
