🐾Attendance matters!🐾
⭐Grade/Subject: 3rd grade teacher, and this is my 4th year at Alma Public Schools.
⭐Favorite part of teaching at APS: My favorite thing about working at Alma Public Schools is the tight-knit, warm environment that's so thoughtfully fostered here. I enjoy getting to work with dedicated professionals that help me become a better teacher each day and building a community of learners. I also love being the student council advisor at Hillcrest Elementary and being an assistant coach for Football and middle school Basketball this past year.
⭐Hobbies & Interests: Outside of school my hobbies are spending family time with my wife and son, attending MSU Football & Hockey games and playing in an Adult Hockey League.
🐾We know Alma Public Schools is an awesome place to learn and grow. Our caring teaching staff go above and beyond to make every student feel safe and supported in the classroom. We could tell you countless reasons why we believe APS is the place to be -- or you could see for yourself. Hear from some of our 4th grade Panthers as they share what they love about APS!🐾
