- What is important to you in education?
- I believe that everyone can learn any motor skill with practice, positive feedback, and a willingness to experiment. I believe that physical activity is for everyone, as long as they find an activity they enjoy. I stress making physical education fun and rewarding. Students must learn to keep their body fit along with their mind.
- What Defines the River School to you?
- River School is a great community of thinkers that respect different view points, and are able to express their thoughts and feelings freely. All of the students are creative learners.
