Ms Florida Women, Nancy Pruitt



Nancy is the mother of 4. Her 2 sons are Tod and Greg, and 2 daughters are Diane and Julianne. She is also the grandmother of 6, 2 girls and 4 boys. She resides in Clermont where she graduated from Clermont High School in 1969.
Nancy is teaching kindergarten at Minneola Elementary School in Lake County, currently in her 26th year. She has an extensive background teaching everything from Pre-Kindergarten through middle school English and the social sciences. She earned her BA in Elementary Education in 1979 and her Master of Education in Educational Leadership in 2004.
Nancy's youngest daughter, Julianne, was graduating in 2003 and the question from friends was; What are you going to do when she is off at school? This question, with some horror stories, prompted Nancy to wonder if the "empty nest" syndrome would be an issue with her. She then decided to return to college and earn her master's degree. It has been Nancy's experience that many parents are "lost" once the children leave home for school, careers, and/or marriage. Retirement looms for many adults with similar "lost" feelings. She would like to help all adults by encouraging them to begin to find new hobbies, interests, or other outlets to prevent the 'lost' feelings. It is her wish to assist adults who are facing these issues find alternatives that will ease life's transitions.
