Hi!  My name is Ashley Notariano and I grew up in Ponchatoula.  I graduated from Ponchatoula High, and then went on to receive my bachelors degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in Elementary Education.  This is my eleventh year of teaching.  I've taught at Holy Ghost and Amite Elementary.  The grades I've taught include second, fourth, fifth, and sixth.  I am a National Board Certified teacher.

         I've been married for over 5 years to a Fireman from Hammond.  I come from a very close family and am the oldest of 4 children.  One of my sisters is a counselor at a school in South Carolina.  My brother was just married and teaches at SLU.  My youngest sister recently graduated from Southeastern and will be marrying an airline pilot this year.   I have a brother-in-law in the Air Force.  I have  two wonderful nephews, one of which is a really talented hockey player.  My parents are two of the most special and important people in my life.  It's because of them that I've become the successful teacher and wife that I am today.   

         My hobbies include most outdoor sports.  I especially like hunting and fishing.  I also enjoy teaching, spending time with my family, dancing, hanging out with friends, traveling, and sleeping late on the weekends.   Chocolate and spicy foods are my favorite!
