Third Grade Teachers Profiles

Amy Broomall

Hello Tuscarora Elementary!   My name is Amy Broomall and I teach 3 rd grade.   I think third graders are the best…but shhhhh….don’t tell anyone I said that.   I hope everyone had a fun-filled and relaxing summer.   I am so excited about this school year and look forward to a great year of fun learning.  

I grew up in Frederick County and attended New Market Elementary, New Market Middle, and Linganore High School.   My husband and I moved to Charles Town, West Virginia about 4 years ago.   We have two children, a 21 month old son named Harper and a new baby boy named Hudson Fisher born in August.   Harper loves to play catch, listen to stories and music, and play outside.    He also enjoys playing with our big black lab named Hallee and getting kisses from her.   Did I mention I love dogs????    In my free time I enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, watching football (Go Redskins!), camping, boating, and going to the beach.   This summer we went to Emerald Isle, North Carolina.

I can’t wait to meet my wonderful students and families.   See you soon!

Eileen Thuman

My name is Eileen Thuman.  This year I am very excited to be working with your child.  I have been teaching for seventeen years in Frederick County.  I spent my first nine years teaching fourth, fifth, and third grades at Carroll Manor Elementary School.  Then I transferred to Whittier Elementary School where I taught fourth and third grades for five years.  This is my fourth year teaching third grade at Tuscarora Elementary School. 

I am a native New Yorker.  I grew up in Suffolk County on Long Island.  I attended Mount Saint Mary's College and never left Maryland.  I love having access to two great cities and the nearby mountains!  I do feel land locked at times so I spend many vacations at the beach. 

My husband and I have four children.  We have three boys and one girl.  My oldest son, Dylan, and my daughter, Catherine, attend Frederick High School.  My sons, Joshua and Liam, will be attending Tuscarora Elementary School.   My husband, Jim, is a teacher at Walkersville High School.  He teaches woodworking and the principles of engineering. 

We love the Outer Banks in North Carolina.  We spent nine weeks there this summer!

When I am not doing schoolwork I spend my time with my family.  We all love to read.  We camp and hike as often as possible.  Spending time with my family in the great outdoors is my favorite thing in the whole world. 

Michelle Silver

Hello Timberwolves! My name is Michelle Silver and I teach 3 rd grade. I really love everything about this school, the families, my team, my administration, the teachers, and of course I have the BEST class in the world. J! I am looking forward to a great year at TuES!

            I received my Bachelor’s degree at the State University of New York at Cortland, my Master’s at Binghamton University, and my administrative certificate at Hood College.

            I began teaching in New York State where I taught Kindergarten, 1 st and 2 nd grade for seven years. I then decided to move to Frederick where I taught 5 th and 4 th grade at Parkway Elementary School. I then transferred to Whittier where I taught Kindergarten, 5 th grade and 3 rd grade. And now, I am teaching 3 rd grade again which I think is great!

My husband and I live in Frederick with our 2 beautiful children, Ethan (5) and Jillian (2). I am a Redskins fan when they win and I LOVE the New York Yankees! I love to read, scrapbook, and plan birthday parties, and spend time with my family

Alex Owen

My wife Lisa and I live in Frederick with our four sons Connor, Tanner, Hunter and Walker. This year, Connor will be a third grader at Walkersville Elementary. The triplets will be entering the fun and exciting world of first grade. I guarantee at the dinner table, you will here many wild and crazy stories about my four musketeers!

After four years active duty in the United States Navy, I attended Towson State University. My undergraduate degree was to teach middle school and high school social studies. After completion of my undergraduate degree, I pursued a master’s degree from Mount Saint Mary’s with certification to teach elementary. In the spring of 2006, I received my certificate in Elementary Educational Leadership from Hood College.

From 1995 – 2000, I was fortunate to teach fourth grade at Saint John Regional Catholic School. In 2001, after the triplets were born, I transferred to Frederick County Public Schools, and for five wonderful years I taught at Whittier Elementary. My last year at Whittier, I transitioned to teaching second grade.

For the 2007 – 2008 school year, I look forward to becoming a part of the Third Grade Team. When you walk into my classroom, you will see students that are enthusiastic, motivated, respectful and engaged in learning. I set high standards and expectations for my students. My students know that I genuinely care about them and their education. I guarantee that they, and I, will have a year to remember!
