Welcome Ms. Smith!

We are fortunate to have Ms. Smith through the month of May.

Hello students and families! I am very happy to be joining you all at Olympia High School this spring. I will be teaching in Mrs. Gilman's classroom through May. During this time I will be teaching The Things They Carried, a story about the Vietnam War. 

A little bit more about myself:

  • I graduate with my Master's in Teaching Degree this June
  • My favorite color is red
  • I love writing 
  • I don't have any pets, but I will be getting a cat soon. 
  • I have lived in Australia
  • My favorite food is Pad Thai :)
  • I'm from Portland, OR
  • I have been learning about education and working with youth for 10 years (Yikes!)
  • I went skydiving to help get over my fear of heights....sadly, this made it worse. 
  • I go to musicals whenever I get the change (Wicked is one of my favorites!)
  • Someday I want to teach high school sociology (If you don't know what that is, come ask me.)
  • I'm a lefty...see the constant pencil/marker/chalk stain on my left hand
  • When I was 13, I had back surgery for scoliosis, and now I have a metal rod on my spine....don't worry, I only rarely set of metal detectors. :) 
  • I love teaching!
 Alright, enough about me. I want to know more about you. I look forward to being in your community this spring!
