Hello, I am Ruby White. I have had the privilege of teaching for 21 years, 17 of which were right here at RCA! I have taught third and fourth grade at Roosevelt. This year, I am continuing to teach fourth grade. I enjoy eating, reading, Zumba, hiking, and most of all spending time with my family and friends. My son's range from 34 to 15 years old. My youngest granddaughter is just two years old. I look forward to another exciting year at Roosevelt watching my students grow and achieve great things!
