Hello!  Here’s all you ever wanted to know about Janet Lynch but were afraid to ask!

Even though I always knew I wanted to be an educator, I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S. in Accounting because my father thought I would earn more money.  Well, he was right, but it wasn’t the career for me.  So, after fifteen years as a bank accountant, I went back to school and received a B.A. from Trinity College in Elementary Education.  I have happily been working as a first or second grade teacher here in Milton for 20 years!  During that time I completed my Master’s degree in Education at St. Michael’s College.  I currently teach a first/second grade looping classroom where the children and I stay together for two years.

I’m a New Jersey girl who moved to Vermont in 1978.  I live in Milton with my husband, Stephen, who teaches science at Milton High School.  Our two children have flown the coop.  Kyle is a fourth-grade teacher in Crofton, Maryland (teaching genes run in our family).  Tara is a Children’s Activities Manager at a large Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida. 

In my spare time I enjoy crafts, such as card-making, and I’m a Facebook fanatic.  I also love to read, kayak, travel, and watch sporting events.  My husband and I have a goal of watching the Red Sox play in every major league ballpark across the country!
