Mrs. Byer has a cat named Sly. 
Sly is very "sly" and likes to get out of the house.
He likes to drink water from the faucet!
Mrs. Byer's loves to teach poetry and writing. She collects children's books for her classroom library, such as the Dear America series, books with a quilting theme, and poetry books. She also really enjoys history and is working on her family tree. She has traced some of her family back to 1580! Several of her ancestors fought in the Revolution. One of them may have been a Hessian soldier! Her husband's family includes some kings and queens, and even some people who have been beheaded!!

When Mrs. Byer is not teaching, she enjoys making quilts and is a member of the Lemoyne Star Quilt Guild. In the summer you can probably find her working in her garden or just sitting and watching the birds and butterflies. Often she will have a quilting project in her hands or be reading a book about teaching. She loves to spend time with her grandchildren.
