About Me

Meet Queen Hicks: The Queen has been teaching for 35 years. 30 of those years have been in kindergarten at our school. Wow! She has been married to the King for more than 30 years. Another wow! At home, her enjoyments are reading, bike riding, water skiing, yoga, Soduku puzzles and traveling. She is very passionate about teaching and her favorite part of the day is being with the children. That's why she looks so young!
