Contributions to School Community

I believe I contribute to the school community in a variety of ways, such as:

• Collaboratively planning school celebrations
• P.E./Health curriculum communicator for staff
• Student recycling coordinator
• Staff Social Committee coordinator
• Participated in planning and preparation for the all-day school Carnival/Carnevale
• Teacher representative at School Council meeting
• Involved with parent volunteers in classroom

I am extremely passionate about being a healthy role model and promoting healthy activity to youth.  As the Health and Physical Education coordinator at St. Maria Goretti, I have developed long range plans for K-6 staff, organized the gym storage room, and am working with team to develop a school “Health Moves” program. I helped organized the Winter Walk Day and Bike to school day in collaboration with SHAPE and our school health nurse.

I incorporate daily physical activity and brain breaks regularly in the classroom to enhance wellness and body awareness and to engage and energize the mind.

Through my coaching and involvement with other co-curricular activities, participation in parent teacher interviews and attendance at school events I was able to meet and build a relationship with the parents and other community members of the school community.
