Barbara Riegel: It’s What We Do

I am a 5th grade teacher, math Olympiad coach, mentor of the Green Eagles Environmental Club, terra-cycler, school garden planner, PTO member, yoga practitioner, colleague, mother, daughter, grandmother, wife. I am the chief learner in a classroom of 27 learners, researchers, mathematicians, readers, writers, scientists, environmentalists, curious future members of my community who will be in charge when I am retired.

I am proud of my profession, my colleagues, my students and the work we do on a daily basis.

(Barbara Riegel is a member of the Bethlehem Central TA.)
