There are several new faces at CES this coming school year. Get to know some of them here.
Dylan Hintze will be teaching physical education at Circleville Elementary Sschool starting this 2021-2022 school year. “I’m so excited to start teaching in this district because it’s been a dream of mine to influence and teach children about the joy of physical activity and I’m so excited to do in Pine Bush!”
Janell McCombs is also teaching physical education at CES and serving as the modified volleyball coach. “I am looking forward to meeting all of my students for the upcoming school year. I am most excited to coach modified volleyball, as well. This will be a new and exciting opportunity for me.”
Kathleen Murray is teaching universal pre-K at CES this year. “I am most excited to be back in Pine Bush, because this is the district I graduated from. It made me the teacher I am today.”
Andrew Murray will be teaching general music, chorus, and band for both Circleville and Pakanasink elementary schools. “I’m really looking forward to being able to give students a musical experience they will never forget! My mentors showed me that music can teach us more than just notes, rhythms, instruments, etc. They showed me that you can learn things such as math, science, history, culture, and ethnicity. But most importantly, once the students learn to read, speak, and write music, they are learning an entirely new language, and I cannot wait for them to walk out of school at the end of the year, more motivated than ever to pursue music!”
Christina Greenbaum is one of two literacy coaches for the elementary education teachers in the district. She will be located at EJR and Circleville elementary schools. “I look forward to meeting and getting to know everyone in each building and becoming a part of the PBCSD team!”
Sarah Ferry will be the assistive technology specialist for the district, traveling to all seven schools. “I grew up in and attended Pine Bush schools, so the thing that I am most looking forward to is being a part of the district and community that gave so much to me. I feel like I’m coming home! I’m excited to learn and to grow with staff, students, and the Pine Bush community alike.”
