Two Rivers Core Value that best represents me: Experience and Grow

I chose the above Core Value because: When I was a teacher at Two Rivers I got to experience and grow so much from the thoughtful professional development and working with amazing colleagues, students and families. I also saw that students were more engaged in learning when they got to truly experience what they were learning about, something I really value about a TR education.

Why I serve on the Two Rivers board:My time at Two Rivers as a teacher nurtured me and gave me options for my own future, and I want to give back to the community that helped me grow and learn. After visiting hundreds of schools across the country, I can confidently say there is no learning community with as much talent and potential as Two Rivers and I would like to help nurture that potential.

Fun Fact: When I was a teacher at Two Rivers, a colleague and I got lost on the overnight camping trip along with a few students! It took perseverence, but we pooled our resources, found a map, and eventually were able to navigate back to Senor Cody- it turned out to be one of my fondest memories at TR!
