Hello, my name is Barb Summers.  This is my second year teaching in Syracuse, but my 25th year in education.  I grew up in Dodge City, Ks where I attended school K-12.  I recieved my degree in Education from Fort Hays State University.  After college I moved to Ulysses, Ks where I taught for 16 years and then to Johnson, Ks. for 7 years teaching kindergarten. 

I have two terrific children and a wonderful guy named Dave.  My daughter Aubree is a junior in college , and my son Trey is an  8th grader.    

My favorite things are my family, teaching, friends, pets, sports, walking, and reading.

I'm so excited to be part of the USD #494 school system, and look forward to a wonderful year!!
