Dear St. Dominic family,
Welcome to this first post as of 2014-2015! Let me introduce myself! Before earning my B.Ed from the U of S with great distinction, my background was in daycare and church ministry. I was born and raised here in Saskatoon, attending Holy Cross High School where I was involved in volleyball, Development and Peace, outdoor ed, and the community-garden project. My husband, son and I spent our summer this year painting the house, going to the lake, and welcoming a new puppy to our family! His name is Odie, and he is a miniature dachshund.
Before coming to teach at St. Dominic, I subbed in the division, and before that I was on internship in Unity, Sk. In my spare time, I enjoy going to fitness classes at the civic centers around town, shopping at thrift stores, baking, and spending time with friends. On the hotter days, my three-year-old son and I like to go to spend our time outside.
Some of my favourite authors are John Green, Mitch Albom and Maggie Stiefvater. And, of course, my favourite classics are: Pride and Prejudice, Dracula, and East of Eden. My favourite color is red, favorite number is 13, and favorite holiday is Halloween.
Growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher, and am so grateful to spend my time doing what I love! I take pride in my work and try to instil a similar value in my students. If you are going to do something, you might as well do the best you can. After all, that is how we grow!
Stay tuned for future posts regarding which classes and extra curriculars I will be teaching!
Enthusiastically Yours!
Mrs. Redpath
