About Me

 Meet Mrs. McKee

                                         

Here I am during my favorite holiday, Christmas.  Here are Melina, Megan  and Molly, our Chocolate lab, playing on the beach in Fort Bragg.

            I am excited to be back at Parker Whitney! I have been teaching in Rocklin for 18 years, and have taught 6th, 4th ,5th and Kinder for the RUSD.  My family and I have lived in Roseville for nearly 23 years, but my husband and I both grew up in Auburn and went to Placer High School, before we moved on to Chico State.  We just celebrated our 25th  wedding anniversary.

My husband, Kevin, works for the Dept. of Corrections (downtown) and Megan attends the University of Oregon  ( Go DUCKS!).  Melina is a sixth grader.   Megan has been playing soccer since 2nd grade and Melina also plays, so we are a  year-round soccer family.  Our favorite place to visit is Fort Bragg, California where Kevin and Megan can go scuba diving, and everyone including Molly loves to go hiking, tide pooling, biking, kayaking, and boogie boarding ( no, Molly doesn't get on a board, but she does ride the surf as if she were on one!).

I love to bake and sew, and do other crafts, such as scrapbooking. I am an avid photographer.  I also love to grow vegetables and herbs for cooking.  And best of all....I love being a teacher!
