Wildcats,
Welcome, Wildcats! I'm thrilled to embark on a new school year with all of you. Get ready for an amazing journey ahead! We'll explore the captivating world of Animal Farm, follow ancient heroes on epic quests, and delve into Shakespeare's timeless tale of young love. It's going to be a year filled with growth and discovery.
I aim to see each of you flourish as a student. I'm here to support you every step of the way—just ask! Helping my students is my passion. Remember, it's okay to face challenges; what matters is how we overcome them together. We'll work out a plan to keep moving forward.
This marks my 10th year teaching at McKeel and my 16th year teaching. Before teaching, I proudly served in the United States Marine Corps alongside my husband for four years. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix and am certified to teach English (Grades 5-9), Reading (K-12), ESOL (K-12), and Elementary Education (K-6). My husband and I have three sons—Alex, Jaxson, and Harrison—all proud Wildcats. Alex, who graduated in 2018, is now a United States Marine. Jaxson graduated in 2020, and Harrison is currently a senior. Our home in Plant City is bustling with our three dogs, and on weekends, you'll often find us cheering at the soccer field. I'm an avid fan of Harry Potter and Stranger Things, and I always have a great book on hand.
I can't wait to embark on this new school year with you all. The possibilities are endless, and I'm excited to see what we'll achieve together!
Mrs. Weitz
