Mrs. Schaub
Mrs. Schaub has been a teacher at PMSA for 12 years. She has taught all levels of Wellness and Health and this year she is teaching Health, Wellness 2, Wellness 3 and Wellness 4. Throughout her time here, she has been the class sponsor for several class clubs.
Q: What do you love most about teaching here at PMSA?
A: What I love most about teaching at PMSA is the celebration of all the cultures. My favorite moments are the Multicultural Assemblies. Not only do I love leaning about our students’ cultures, but to see them perform and share what their culture means to them is incredible!
Q: What has been your most memorable moment while teaching here at PMSA?
A: A couple years ago I had a student who knew that my two girls loved Disney. So, when her and her family went over Winter Break, she brought back a hand painted Mickey Mouse ornament for my family. It still goes on our Christmas tree every year!
Q: What is an interesting fact (s) that many do not know about you?
A: One thing that most people don’t know about me is that I would love to write a children’s book someday. When I was in sixth grade, I wrote a short story and was chosen to be a part of the Young Authors council in my area. After that I took several short story and poetry writing classes throughout high school and college. And, after I had my girls, I knew I wanted to write a book about them.
Q: What book (s) are you currently reading?
A: I am currently re-reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Time travel and historical fiction are my favorite genre. And this series my absolute favorite!!
Q: Is there anything that you would like to tell the school community?
A:
- I am the youngest of 12.
- I have an identical twin.
- I was born and raised on a farm in Northern Michigan
- I have two daughters. One is a senior in high school and the other is an 8th grader!
- I married my high school sweetheart.
- I was a cheerleader in college for 4 years.
Not only have these shaped who I am as a person, but I really feel like these life events have made me a better teacher.
