I wanted to find out about some teachers throughout our school district, so I asked them to tell a fun fact about themselves that not many people know the results were very fascinating and very informative and I feel I learned so much about the people teachers are outside school. These are some cool facts: 

Did you know that Mr. Marcucci started his teaching career in China? Or that Mrs. Senecal has been skydiving three times? Ms. Myra rode a bike 106 miles, and if you are a tennis fan, thank Mr. Lev because he reintroduced tennis to Sutton in 2002. 

Mr. Keough dislikes reading. Miss Scarborough was a dancer in the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade. Mr. Bilica holds a lot of positions: College Football Referee, eSports Coach, Medical Interpreter, and, on top of all that, teacher, Mrs. Farmer qualified for the Olympics in roller skating in the 1980s. 

Mrs. Haerle is related to the 29th US president Warren G. Harding. Mrs. Cullen, right after college, lived in her car for six weeks traveling the country before living in Lake Tahoe CA for two years and then becoming a teacher.

Mrs. Perry worked as a magician’s assistant and was sawed in half and levitated. Mrs. and Mr. Whittier’s wedding ceremony was held in the cafeteria of the old high school.
