Hello!  My name is Mrs. Allison Halstead and I am a success coach and high school English teacher for IVLA.  I am a certified English teacher and tutor in Connecticut and have experienced teaching many different classes at many different levels.  My husband and I live in beautiful Sandy Hook, CT.  I have one child, a wonderful little boy named Ryan, who is just turning one year old!  I enjoy running long distances, reading science fiction and historical fiction for fun, and trying new things.  The coolest thing I ever did was run a Ragnar Relay – 12 people in a team run over 200 miles all together over 36 hours! All together I ran about 20 of the 200.  Now I spend most of my running time chasing around little Ryan!
