Please welcome our new 6th grade literacy teacher, Suzette Ehrle! She is originally from Marengo, Iowa. This is her 26th year of teaching. She previously taught middle school in Cedar Rapids. She graduated from Mt. Mercy College and went into teaching because she enjoys working with kids, helping them to grow academically/socially, and continuing learning of her own. She wanted to work with middle school students because in the middle school age, kids are beginning to be capable of having higher level conversations, thoughts, and informed opinions on current events, and connecting their learning to their own life and society around them at deeper levels.
Her favorite things to do are hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, and snowshoeing. She loves going on "adventures"/spending time with her daughters and son in law.
Interesting Fact: She likes the challenge of replicating her favorite restaurant dishes at home, and creating "over the top" desserts.
