My name is Margaret Engler. I was born and raised in Salisbury and am a graduate of Salisbury State. My husband Steve & I have been married for 32 years and have three children; Brian, Caitlin & Matt. I have worked at ACDC since 1999 when I was hired as a classroom aide in the two’s classes and had that job for three years. I began teaching in 2002, still with the two’s classes. Sometimes I’m asked “What can you teach a two your old?” My answer—“What can you NOT teach a two year old?” I feel blessed to work in such a supportive, vibrant environment and hope to be around for some time yet!

I graduated from Washington College with degrees in Music and Psychology. I am married my wonderful husband, Brian. Asbury has been a second home to me for my entire life, but oddly enough I am the only one between my three siblings and myself who did not attend ACDC as a child due to where my family was living at the time. I am very excited to be part of this work family in a place that is so near and dear to my heart.

I work in Kindergarten and the 3’s classroom. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to work with the ACDC students during their journey here at Asbury. It is incredible to see the growth they make socially and academically.

I am married to a wonderful husband, David. We met when we were attending Salisbury University. While there, I received my degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Communication Arts. Years later, I also received my Masters in Education. Although my husband and I grew up on the western shore, we fell in love with Salisbury and decided to make it our home.

I taught in the public school system for 7 years. Then I became a MOM! I was very fortunate to stay home with my two sons, Colby and Cade, who are now teenagers. They are easy to spot with their red hair, blue eyes and freckles. One of my favorite things to do is watch them play baseball and basketball. My boys went to Asbury for 3’s, 4’s and Kindergarten. I started working at Asbury when my youngest son was in Mrs. Huey’s 4’s class. I love working at Asbury! I’m thankful for a job that makes me smile every day!

When I’m not working, I love going to the beach, hanging out with friends and family, swimming, walking, reading magazines and baking.  I love summer!
