Additionally, I earned the prestigious scholar-athlete award while at U.S.F.. I earned my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction.

District 15 Physical Education Mission Statement

Our mission is to develop attitude, skills, and knowledge that will result in a lifetime of enjoyable participation in physical education.

Current Unit of Study

The school year will begin with a variety of cooperative activities that are age-appropriate and aligned to state standards. Activities offered throughout the year will also be age appropriate, attending to the state standards.

My Philosophy

Teaching to me is more than a job. It is a commitment I take very seriously. My goal is to fully dedicate myself to your child as I help him or her to reach his or her potential physically, mentally, and socially.

Fitness Tip of the Month

It is important to remember to always drink enough water. Before participating in prolonged periods of physical activity any type of sports drink should be added in addition to the water. Remember to warm-up before activity and cool-down afterwards!
