Callaway Hills Elementary

How long have you been with the district? This is my 16th year with the district!

Why is JC Healthy Schools important to you? Giving kids an opportunity to learn about making healthy choices will give them a foundation for becoming a healthy adult.  

What do you look forward to in the future of JC Healthy Schools? I would love to see this program incorporate an emphasis on student mental wellness in addition to the importance of physical fitness.

What do you enjoy most about being a JC Healthy Schools building champion? I am thankful for this opportunity to lead our school in continuing the Healthy Schools initiative.  It is so exciting to see positive changes happening that are directly impacting our students.  I am always an advocate for programs that some folks don't always agree with. Change is hard, but I am confident that my positive, outgoing personality can help to make a difference!  

What's your favorite healthy meal to make at home?  I love cooking! I recently made Sweet-and-Sour Pork Stir Fry and it was AMAZING! 

What's your favorite way to stay active? I love playing outside with my kids and our dog Harper.  

What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given? When having a disagreement, let the other person have the last word.
