My name is Marcy Klemenz and I teach 2nd grade. I am an avid reader and hope to teach my students to love reading as well. I have a husband, 2 daughters, and a step son. I also have 7 wonderful grandchildren that I absolutely adore. We enjoy spending a lot of time with them. My husband and I have a boat and we spend our weekends cruising up and down the Ohio River.
