WECOME!  EVERYONE!  I'm Mrs. Wharton and teach 2nd grade here at A.J. West.   I graduated from Fresno State with a teaching credential and moved here to Aberdeen, WA.
 I was hired here at A.J. West and after my first year of teaching, I decided to further my education and pursued a Master's degree in Education from City University.

I have been married to my husband (Rocky) for over 30 years and we have two wonderful children.  Our oldest child is an elementary teacher in the Kent school district & our youngest child is teaching English in South Korea.  We also have a niece that is an elementary teacher in California and another niece that wants to be a Kindergarten teacher someday.
