Treasurer - Corrie Douglas
Hello. My name is Corrie. I have been a member of MERC for 7 years and the MERC treasurer for three. I have helped create and maintain our website, the monthly newsletter, and our Facebook page. I have also been working with Elizabeth Fellerer on creating a new program with the Billings Parmly Library called Book It Explorers. The program will teach nonfiction reading skills and provide opportunities for students to perform experiments using the scientific process.
I am a third grade teacher in the Billings Public School District at Big Sky Elementary. I am excited for the new reading series and look forward to using more nonfiction in the classroom. I am trying to revamp my homework and conference set up this year. If you have any great ideas or advice to use in the class, please let me know.
I enjoy to read and my genre of choice is fantasy / science fiction. I am currently in a book club and have read several historical fictions, which I am surprised to say I am loving. I am a knitter and I am currently working on two different projects. My little knitting group enjoys meeting at Simply Wines once a week, and I love getting a chance to visit with them. I look forward to hanging out with my friends on the patios in the summer, going to plays, and watching HGTV and the Food Network.
I am excited for the upcoming year and hope you are too. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you more this year.
