Hi!  My name is Mrs. Bishop.       I am a first grade teacher at Van Buren Elementary.  I am originally from a small town, Union City, on the border of Ohio and Indiana.  I graduated from Mississinawa Valley High School.  I have received my Teaching degree from the University of Findlay.  I have also earned my Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Findlay.  I live in Findlay with my husband, Marc and our children Ali and Jake.  I also have a small dog named Brutus.  I enjoy spending time with my family, playing golf, scrap booking and reading. I am looking forward to spending the year with your child!  Your role as a parent can never be overestimated.  My job is to work with you and your child to help him/her have a successful year in first grade.  Please feel free to contact me at school, 419-299-3416 or by email at ebishop@vbschools.net.
