Hello! My name is Lori Malette. The 2008-2009 school year marks my third year working at Brushton- Moira Central. Last year I had the privilege of working as a first grade classroom teacher. Prior to that I was a 3rd grade teacher assistant with several weeks of the year spent as a long-term substitute 3rd grade teacher. This year I am excited about the chance to work as a long-term substitute Reading Resource Teacher while Melissa Whipple enjoys time at home with her new baby and family. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and the classroom setting and can’t imagine a profession more suitable for myself.

I was born and raised in the North Country. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and my Master’s in Childhood Education from SUNY Potsdam. I also hold an Associate’s degree in Interior Design from Cazenovia College.

My family keeps me busy! My husband, Mike, is a musician and also works at BMC. He works for the maintenance department, and I couldn’t be more thankful that he has learned to be such a Mr. Fix-it! From putting up a wall, to tearing apart my computer, there’s nothing he can’t do. Our son, Kylor, is 11 years old and has such a creative mind. He is kind, helpful, and a friend to all. Kalista, our daughter, is 8. She sings and dances like an angel with an artistic flair to boot. We couldn’t be more proud of them both!

My hobbies include spending time with my family, reading, photography, traveling, and going out to eat. My favorite family past-times are board games, snuggling and watching a movie, four-wheeling, and nighttime story time.
