I've been teaching middle school health & phys. ed. for the past 13 years. I really enjoy teaching this age group because my students are at a point in their lives where things can be very challenging and yet very exciting. We as educators have more of an impact on them than we realize and sometimes all it takes is for someone to actually listen.
I have three young boys (who are truly amazing) and my husband, Scott (who is also a teacher and pretty cool :). We both grew up in the mid-west and can't imagine living anywhere else!
I also coach 8th grade girls basketball along with the varsity softball team. The Brandon Valley School District is a great district to be living in and teaching in!
This particular blog is designed mostly for my students to use. With our ever changing world and technology, I felt it was important to try and keep up with my students by integrating a blog site for them to interact and discuss various health and fitness related topics with other teens their age. I'm always looking for new ideas and suggestions....if you have any questions or comments please drop me an email...
