My name is Debbie Arnsparger, and I welcome you to 2nd grade.  I graduated from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 1990 with a BS degree in Elementary Education.  I taught Third Grade at Mt. Gap Elementary School for 5 years.  After my first child was born, I stayed home with my children for 8 years.  I returned to teaching in 2004.  During my first year at Monrovia Elementary School, I taught 3^rd and 4^th grade gifted classes.  I taught 1^st grade for ten years and just finished my first year teaching Second Grade.

 My husband, David Arnsparger, is a high school Social Studies teacher and football coach.  Together we have five children.  The oldest is 22, and the youngest is 16.  I love hiking, traveling, and spending time with my family.  I love to teach children.  My goal for the children I teach is to help them gain a love for learning that will continue through their lifetime.
