As summer comes to a close I hope everyone can look back at great memories. My wife, Lauren, and I had a summer that consisted of moving, surprise, and uncomfort. In June we moved just south of Shawnee Mission NW Highschool into our first house. It was a move that we both deemed necessary because we will be expanding our family to 3 in October. Our first child, a boy, is anticipated to arrive October 11th. In the midst of all this excitement I have thrown a wrench into our plans. On July 3rd in my hometown, Bern, Ks, I tore my Achilles tendon celebrating the win of a sporting event. My cousin and I won a 42 team tournament and as we jumped to high 5, my tendon ruptured. A late lesson learned is to be humble and modest even in the best of times. I am slowly recovering and should be walking just fine in another month.
I am very excited to start another school year at Rising Star. This will be my 4th year teaching, 3 of them being in the 4th grade. You will find that I am a teacher that believes in bringing high energy to the classroom. The more I can create strong personal relationships with each student, the better experience every student will have. As we begin this year's journey I want you to feel comfortable contacting me for any needs. It is my goal to update this blog once a week to help keep everyone informed on important dates and information. With the combined work of parents, students, and the classroom teacher I believe this will be a successful year and one to remember!
Mr. Strathman
