Becky Richardson has worked here in Readsboro since 2003.  She received her Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education from Greenfield Community College in Greenfield, MA and her Bachelor's Degree, also in Early Childhood Education, from Fitchburg State University in Fitchburg, MA.  Her favorite thing about teaching is when students get excited about something new that they have learned, whether that be learning to read or write, or getting involved in an ongoing project such as interviewing school workers about what they do and presenting what they have discovered to an audience.  When she is not in the classroom, she enjoys spending time with her daughter as well as the rest of her family.  Swimming, reading, hiking, and traveling are some of her favorite activities.
