About Me
I am a high school teacher that creates a weekly news show with students that reports on the happenings at our school. I also teach multimedia classes as well as a class in stage craft.

Social Networking & Digital Citizenship in Schools

Posted on February 1, 2014 at 11:15pm 1 Comment

Rich,

You're going to have to make down to the Springs to take on The Incline in Manitou. It's a beast of a workout but one you will likely appreciate after you conquer it.
