I am Christine Russell, a second grade teacher at Barnard. I have been teaching for over 20 years! I love kids-they are our future! I live in Troy with my husband, Jim. We have 3 kids who all attend Troy schools. Brooke and James are at Athens and Nichole is at Larson. When I'm not teaching, I'm a soccer, basketball, and track mom. I love traveling, reading, and scary movies. I do not like cooking! We have a Great Dane and two cats, along with one guinea pig. I love being with my family and friends. Thank you for sharing your special student with me!
