We would like to welcome our new Phys Ed teacher to the Panorama Hills School Staff. Mrs. Walker will be joining our PE team for the remainder of the school year.
Mrs. Walker attended College in Grande Prairie Alberta where she studied Physical Education and Education. She received her Bachelor of Education Degree from University of Alberta in 2012 and has been enjoying her new love for Teaching ever since. Mrs. Walker is passionate about health and fitness, and teaching students how to become active life long learners. She is excited to have the opportunity to interact with each student as well as motivate and support them throughout their educational journey.
Mrs. Walker enjoys going on walks at the dog park with her husband, Tom and her two dogs, Twix and Turbo. During the winter season you may find her on a mountain attempting to Snowboard or cheering on her favorite Hockey team. As the weather warms up she will be thrilled to hit a baseball around and take time to visit with family and friends. She is extremely happy to be teaching Physical Education at Panorama Hills School! :)
