About me

I am super excited to be at Target Range as a Health Enhancement teacher . This will be my 8th year teaching Health Enhancement. I taught at Lolo Middle School then took some time to stay home with my kiddos. I am a born and raised Montanan. My family and I love the outdoors and spend a lot of our free time hiking, camping, and floating the river. I grew up playing lots of sports and still enjoy volleyball and running. I am excited for the school year and getting students active and learning to live a healthy life.

What you can expect from health enhancement this year

This year students in Physical Education will develop the physical skills necessary to be competent in many forms of movement, knowledge of team sports concepts such as offensive and defensive strategies and tactics, and appropriate social behaviors within a team or group setting. Some of the units we will cover in PE are cooperative games, ultimate frisbee, dance, games from other countries, fitness, racket sports, volleyball.

Health and Wellness will provide students with the knowledge and skills to make health-promoting decision. We will explore many topics and the factors that will influence our health and wellness. Course topics may include, personal health and wellness, nutrition, substance abuse and prevention, human growth and development, decision making, and physical fitness.
