I am pleased to be the girls 7/8 grade Health and Physical Education teacher here at McKinley Jr. High.  This year, there have been two sixth grade classes added to my schedule, so I am looking forward to having an additional year to build relationships and teach my students those important lessons in their own health and physical wellness.  Here at McKinley, we provide each child with a standards and research based Health and Physical Education curriculum.  Health and Physical Education are a very important part of our everyday  life.  The lessons in leadership, teamwork, physical/social development, and overall health and nutrition teach students to develop good fitness habits and a good wellness program for life.  I am pleased to be working with your children and supporting them in developing the skills that will be fundamental in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  
​Please check out my fusion page monthly.  I try to keep parents aware of what's going on in P.E. and Health regularly. Health is every Monday and assignments are due by Thursday of that week.  All activities, announcements, and  assignments can be found on my fusion page by clicking on Teacher-Thomas.  Also, my grades are updated daily so please go on to Power School and check your child's progress and grades weekly.

If you have any questions or concerns at anytime during the school year, the best way to reach me is through the district e-mail ([email protected]).  Please feel free to contact me anytime.
