Howdy! My name is Patti Nutto and this is my first year at Wilderess Oak.  I have been teaching since 2009.  After I graduated from Texas A&M University College Station (WHOOP!) with my BA in Psychology,  I knew I wanted to work with children and teaching was my calling.   When I am not teaching or planning I am spending quality time with my family.  My husband and I have 6 children all together.  My daughter Sophia (23yrs) stepson Diego (22) daughter Franceska (16) daughter Giana (9) son Patrick (7) and daughter Vivi (4) all keep me one very busy mommy!  I wouldn't have it any other way or I would be bored ! (giggle)   When I do have extra time I enjoy volunteering.  I also love to garden and continue to try and keep my plants and trees alive.  It is definitely a chore but very calming and relaxing.
