Souls of Shaler Area

The Souls of Shaler Area blog will be on hiatus until September 2017.  Thank you to all students who worked on this.  It was a learning experience and we are still perfecting the process.  If your post did not make it, we probably ran out of time for photos.  Some posts will go up in the fall.  If you don't see your post, contact me at barnerb@sasd.k12.pa.us and we can work on that in the new school year.

Shelley West, Reading Teacher "If I could write a message to my kids,  it would say you could do anything if you put your mind to it."

George Alexander, Science Teacher "One of my favorite things about teaching is getting to know all of the children I teach and see them grow up throughout the years. A message I like to pass on to the children is to always do things to your potential, give 100% in everything, and live your life the fullest."

Brian Duermeyer, English teacher “We used to play our games in the backyard, and we had a variety of games that were made up… a homemade lacrosse game, a run-down with a ball, Home Run Derby...and my grandmothers would act as the officials, and they would sit on the porch and watch us. There were times they would disagree about a call, but they were such lovely and honest women that they would not even argue about it; they would politely reach a conclusion and we would hang on their conclusion, because we cared about them so much.” 

Abigale May, Mathematics Teacher “I trust my family and closest friends. There are some things I share and talk about with my family and there are some things I depend on my closest friends to help me get through.”

Sara Neaves, Science Teacher "I feel happy and content to where I don't feel like I'm missing something."

Lynne Fairman, Lunch Lady "The best thing that happened to me is having my two sons."
