Ms. Gold loves Orange so much she had to move back to the community this Fall!
Mrs. Keller is the new PE teacher replacing Coach K, who retired this past
year. She was the long-term sub for Miss Gold while she was out for surgery
last school year. She graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College in December 2010
and is certified to teach Health and Physical Education! She recently got
married this past July to her husband Scott. In her spare time she likes to
coach cheerleading and dance. She also likes to play with her dog Chloe! She
is very excited to be apart of the Moreland Hills family and she can’t wait
to get to know everyone.
As physical educators, we encourage all students to do their best. Class
instruction promotes fitness, movement and dance, cooperative games,
individual and team sport skills, and developmental gymnastics which will
enhance life skills that will keep our children active and healthy throughout
their lives. We also encourage students to be good citizens and to develop
sportsmanship "on the field" as well as off.
