I had such a blast on Monday reading to some of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade classes at Alma Hillcrest School for March's Reading Month! I shared with the students what it's like being a Physical Education teacher and coach. We discussed the positive impacts of what reading and physical activity can have on your body and more importantly, your brain.
Thank you to the teachers for letting me join your classrooms and speak with your students!





What a blast reading to 1st and 2nd graders today in Alma. It was a great chance to remind them that teaching is one of the most important jobs in the world! #GIRESDSupportingStudents
