 * Tiffany's Wiki Page:**
 * Hi! My name is Tiffany, and I am a 6th grade teacher at Maureen M. Welch Elementary School. I have been teaching for 15 years and have been in 6th grade for 10 years. I particularly love teaching ancient cultures and traveling to many of the places I teach. I also have a special heart for working with middle school aged girls to help them increase self-esteem and build healthy relationships.**
