Intro blog

I am Kathy Reck.  I live in a small town in southwestern Michigan, with my husband, son, and daughter.

I have a Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in hospitality management and minor in business from CMU.  After college I worked in the business world for about 10 years and then decided to commit my time to raising our children.  About 7 years ago, as our children were becoming more self sufficient, I started substitute teaching (K-12) for our local St. Joseph Public Schools.  For the last two years I held a long term sub position teaching math at our high school and middle school. This is when I fell in love with teaching.  With encouragement from my colleagues and family, I am now pursuing a Master's in Education through the GTC program at GVSU.  I am looking forward to the day that I can be back in the classroom with my students.  I miss them so much.  Teaching, mentoring, and building relationships with our young people is so fulfilling!

Outside of the classroom (whether student or teacher), I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, cooking, reading, and enjoying beautiful Lake Michigan sunsets!
