Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome back to the 2016-2017 school year! Many of you know me from last year, but I never really got the chance to write a proper introductory letter. So here goes…
My name is Cynthia Shepherd and I joined Lyle Public School in Oct. 2015 to teach 7-12 grade science. I received my Bachelors of Science with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin Superior in Dec. 2003. During my childhood, my family moved often and this meant new schools every couple of years. As a result, I don’t really have a hometown, but I graduated from Arcadia High School in Arcadia, WI.
Before becoming a science teacher I’ve had a number of different jobs: lab technician, clinical report writer, ESL teacher in China, circuit board manufacturing, and most recently over-the-road truck driver. This past summer I began taking classes towards my teaching license at Winona State University’s Rochester campus. If all goes according so schedule, I will have competed my licensure program by June 2017.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband, walking our dog Charlie, and working on home renovations.
My goals as a second year teacher are to continue getting to know my students and to dissect the science curriculum with them.
I look forward to seeing you all again for a great 2016-2017 school year!
Sincerely,
Cynthia Shepherd
Lyle Public School Science Teacher
