🌟 Staff Spotlight: Getting to Know Mr. Kline 🌟
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on our PE teacher, Mr. Kline — and since he’s not big on photos, he’s letting his dog take center stage instead! 🐶
📚 Teaching Journey
Mr. Kline has been teaching for “too long” (his words!). Over the years, he has taught every grade from K–8 and has also held leadership roles from K–12.
💡 Inspiration
Teaching is in his blood—his dad was a teacher. While in college to play hockey, he had to pick a degree, so he chose education—and the rest is history!
🤫 Surprising Fact
Students might be surprised to learn that Mr. Kline enjoys “secret sandwiches” before heading home from work so he doesn’t have to share them with anyone.
📖 Favorite Read-Aloud
There’s an Alligator Under My Bed is one of his favorites to read.
🎒 School Days
As a student himself, Mr. Kline didn’t have a favorite subject—it was always about the teacher. If the teacher was good, the subject didn’t matter.
☕ Favorites
His ultimate lunch go-to: two hot dogs, fried perogies, and chocolate milk.
✨ Hidden Talent
Mr. Kline has a twin, and sometimes jokes that his twin shows up to teach gym class—without anyone noticing.
🚤 Dream Job
Driving high-speed boat tours in New Zealand.
🌙 Dream Vacation
The moon.
💬 Advice for Students
Mr. Kline’s advice is practical: consider attending a low-cost college for business, then join the military as an officer. If you do go to college, he suggests going out of state far enough that it takes more than a day to drive back—because it’s a great way to broaden your experience.
We’re grateful for Mr. Kline’s energy, humor, and dedication to students both in PE and beyond!

🌟Staff Spotlight: Getting to Know Mrs. Aileen Plant🌟
This week we’re excited to highlight Mrs. Plant, our wonderful TKO teacher!
📚 Teaching Journey
Mrs. Plant has been teaching for an incredible 22 years. She spent 4 years in preschool, 12 years in NAS, and 6 years in kindergarten before joining us in TKO.
☕ Favorites
Her go-to snacks are Skinny Pop and caramels, and when it comes to coffee, she loves a pumpkin chai tea.
🎨 Fun & Personal
Outside of school, Mrs. Plant is incredibly talented—she loves to sew and design Native American/Powwow regalia for her family. She is also a jingle dress dancer, a meaningful and beautiful tradition she carries forward.
💡 Favorite Teaching Memory
One moment that always makes her smile: while getting her students ready for PE, she told them, “It’s time to go to gym.” A student quickly asked, “Who is Jim?”
We are so lucky to have Mrs. Plant’s experience, creativity, and joyful spirit as part of our school community! 💛

🕵️ If she wasn’t teaching…
She thinks she’d make a pretty great FBI agent (and we believe her!).
✈️ Dream vacation:
Exploring the beautiful sights of Greece.

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Mrs. Kirsten Hawkaluk 🌟
This week we’re celebrating Mrs. Hawkaluk, one of our amazing 1st grade teachers!
Mrs. Hawkaluk has been teaching for 21 years, with most of her career spent in first grade. She says first graders are her favorite because they grow and learn so much in just one year—and she especially loves teaching children how to read. As a child, reading was one of her favorite hobbies, so it feels natural that she now gets to share that same love with her students every day. 📚✨
If she weren’t a teacher, Mrs. Hawkaluk says she would probably be a scientist! She began in college studying molecular biology and still loves exploring science and sharing “cool discoveries” with her students. 🔬🌱
We are so lucky to have Mrs. Hawkaluk on our team and in our classrooms, inspiring our young learners! ❤️
