About the Teacher

I have been the Physical Education Teacher at the Spofford Pond School since 
February 1977!  This is my 33rd year at the Spofford Pond School (yes, I am 
old!).

I have been an Assistant High School Hockey Coach and Freshman Football 
Coach in the past.  Since 1988 I have conducted PE workshops for the Education
Department/Graduate Education Department at Merrimack College as an Adjunct
Lecturer.  

I also help present the "Steps to Respect" Program with Mrs. Benson.  I 
enjoy working with young people and look forward to working with the 
children in my classes.

Goals of the Program

We meet once per week for 45 minutes.  It is very important that the 
students are prepared with Sneakers and appropriate clothing.  We will work 
on physical skills and fitness as well as such personal skills as 
cooperation, leadership, and listening skills.  My goal is to direct the
students toward seeking some type of physical activity on their own.
