My name is Peggy Craft. I have been working in the school system for 8 years; six years as a paraprofessional and two as a certified DES teacher. I coach basketball for my school and love every minute of it. I teach because it is what I love doing. Middle school students are at the age where they need the most guidance. We have to make sure we are strong teachers during this critical age because the students will get persuaded to either do the right thing or the wrong thing. What ever they choose now is what they will most likely do in high school.
