I believe teachers should be passionate about what they teach!!

Being active has always been a passion of mine.  Whether it's softball, golf, water skiing, running, lifting weights, hiking - I'll try pretty much anything if it keeps me active.  And, I absolutely love teaching my students how to be healthy and active as well.  Being active doesn't always mean participating in organized sports.  Being active can be done on your own - bike riding, jump roping, swimming.  There is so much for us to do out there to keep us active.

This is my 28th year of teaching.  I moved to Colorado 23 years ago ... via New Mexico, California, Florida, Ohio, and Illinois.  I have 4 children - all in their 20's - who also remain active with sports, camping, hiking, and boating.

Please continue to be as active as possible ... try for 60 mminutes of activity a day.  Activity doesn't have to be sports - walking your dog is being active.

Let's have a great year!!
