Timpanogos Pride

Aaron started teaching at Timpanogos High School 3 years ago. He is really a great teacher (and I'm not just saying that because I'm his wife). After teaching for a few years I've noticed a lot of qualities that make good teachers and he really seems to have all of them. He really loves teaching and is happy to go to work each day. He requires a lot from his students and challenges them, but his class is also fun and his students love him. Since he started, he has slowly taken on more and more responsibilities including senior council adivisor, and boys and girls varsity soccer coach. Last year his senior council spent much of the year working with the city council to get it approved for them to be able to put up a temporary "T" on the mountain during certain weeks throughought the school year. (It is no longer legal to paint them on the mountain). He went to many city council meetings and was in the newspaper a few times...and finally got everything worked out. If you look carefully in the picture above, he is standing at his school and you can see the T in the back of him on the mountain.

His soccer teams have also done pretty well. His boys team had a rough start to the season, but they have been improving ever since then. He has high hopes for the rest of the season and next year. Then on Monday he was asked to be the advisor for student government. He will have one less prep period so he can teach the student goverment class, and will keep himself busy with many activities throughought the year. He is pretty excited because he enjoyed senior council and this will be similar with more responsibility and more benefits. He will continue to coach both varsity soccer teams next year too. Everyone at his school thinks he is crazy, but he is pretty organized and doesn't mind keeping himself busy...so wish him luck!
