Her favorites include action films such as "Face/Off," "The Fugitive," "The Hunt for Red October" and the "Indiana Jones" movies. She also enjoys romantic comedies like "Moonstruck" and "Innerspace." She isn't likely to know recent or current box office hits. Mrs. Weeks likes the mountains of North Carolina and the Blue Ridge Parkway. She loves lighthouses, but the beach is not her favorite place. Her best vacations ever were five cruises in the Caribbean and two to Alaska. Mrs. Weeks has no children, but she has been married for 15 years. She is a dedicated teacher who has high expectations of her students. Her personal goal is to make certain that every child who leaves her classroom has a new sense of confidence in himself or herself as a reader and as a student. |
