Meet our Team
Mrs Mix
I am so excited to be teaching Second Grade this year! I began my education experience at University of Akron, earning my Bachelor's Degree. As I began teaching, I completed my Master's Degree at Kent State University in Curriculum and Instruction in Literacy. This is my sixteenth year of teaching. I taught in Nordonia Hills City Schools for the majority of my career until we moved to Sunbury during the summer of 2015. Over the years, I have taught sixth, fifth, and first grade. I also had the privilege as being a Reading Specialist. Not to mention, I was the Instructional Facilitator here at General Rosecrans last year, so I already know many students in my class this year! I look forward to a wonderful year with my SUPER Second Graders :)

I am from Wilmette, Illinois, which is about 10 minutes north of Chicago. I graduated from National-Louis University in Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in education and I am currently working toward a master’s degree. This will be my 16th year teaching. I taught grades 4-9 math at Lake Forest Country Day School in Lake Forest, Illinois for 8 years. After moving to my husband’s home state, Ohio, I taught 4th and 5th grade in Urbana for 5 years. This will be my third year teaching in Big Walnut and I absolutely love it! I have a fantastic husband, Simon, and two children, Aidan and Olivia. In my free time I enjoy being outside, exercising, reading, cooking, and being with my family.
