My name is Janet Carlson, and I am passionate about reading! It is my favorite thing to do when I have a few minutes of spare time. I often think that if I hadn’t decided to be a teacher, I would have been a librarian. A librarian gets to be surrounded by books all day and then gets paid to read them! Because it is so important to me, I try to instill a love of reading in my students. I am married to my college sweetheart who taught and coached at Parker High School for over 25 years. I have two sons who graduated from Parker High School. Kyle is a history teacher, and Ryne is a music teacher. When I am not teaching or reading, I love to shop, make crafts, bake cupcakes, or be involved with activities at the First Baptist Church.
