Favorite Quote: “Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have done unto you.”

A native of Peoria, IL, Mrs. Simmons has worked at PND for the past thirteen years. Her favorite part about the school is the students, and she has grown in her faith by putting her trust in God in all things. She describes this trust as God lifting her worries and fears off of her shoulders. When not spreading her positivity and kindness throughout PND and lifting others’ worries with all of her hard work, Mrs. Simmons can be found spending time with her family and friends, including her four children and five grandchildren. She also enjoys attending plays!
