Clubs/Sports Sponsored: Boys Soccer and Basketball Contact: [email protected] I am excited to come back to my alma mater and teach ELA because I am passionate about kids and about the power of stories to shape us and to enlarge our perspective on the world. A few of my all-time favorite books are Thirst, The Rent Collector, and Boys in the Boat. I love to read, but I also love getting outside to hike or bike, and I love to watch and play sports, especially baseball, basketball, and soccer. |

Website: mariahmccune.weebly.com Contact: [email protected] I absolutely love to read anything that will sit still long enough to be read, and I enjoy sharing great literature with my students. While I have many favorites, the best novel I've read in the last three years is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. When I don't have my nose in a book, I try to get outside as much as possible with my husband, son, and dog. We love to camp, bike, hike, rock climb, golf, snowboard, and geocache together. |
