Pittsburgh Penguins February 2022 Teacher of the Month
Tell us about yourself!
I am in my 33rd year of teaching and I teach 7th and 8th grade science. I had a fifth Grade teacher Lenny Marcus at Markham elementary that turned me on to teaching…. it is all I have ever wanted to do. Watching my 7th grade HOOOMANS turn into well adjusted Adults. Still volunteer with the marching band, fundraise for my 1st wife Melissa’s memorial scholarship for the band. I have the best job…. thanks for EVERFI!
