**Staff Spotlight**
PE Teacher, Mrs. Seidel
I graduated from Catalina High School in Tucson Arizona. How about that? My high school and current school have similar names and both can mean "pure". I went to college at THE University of Arizona- Go Wildcats!!
I have been teaching for 24 years, the last 10 years have been at Catalayah. I love seeing the reactions the kiddos have when they get excited or are proud of themselves.
In my free time I enjoy running (of course), spending time with my family, watching the news (yikes), binge watching Netflix, listening to NPR and sometimes I will clean my house. Oh and I love going to Oregon and Northern California.
My husband Ken and I have been married for 33 years. I have 1 grown son, 2 stepdaughters, and 5 grandchildren. 2 grands live here and 3 in Oregon. Ken is retired and his only job now is to take care of ME!!!
If I could be any book character I would want to be Fern from Charlotte's Webb because I love this story about their friendship.
One thing I want to do that I have never done before is travel the United States National Parks in an RV.
Other fun facts about me- I once fell off a cliff and live to tell the story. Rode a bike up a mountain and climbed from 2600 feet to 9,000 feet. Ran into a bear, not literally, while riding a bike in Colorado. Hiked the Grand Canyon. Got lost in Paris getting off the airplane.
My favorite quote is "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." Mahatma Gandhi
The cool thing about Mrs. Seidel is she has had every kid that has ever went to Catalayah!! What are their favorite memories with Mrs. Seidel?? Share them with us!

** Staff Spotlight**
3rd Grade/Virtual Teacher, Mrs. Hutchins!!
I graduated from Claremore Sequoyah then went on to RSU and Cameron University. I have been teaching for 8 years, the last 3 of those have been at Catalayah. My favorite thing about teaching is the joy you see in kids faces when they learn something new, its so rewarding. I also love all the cute stories they love to share daily.
I enjoy running, hiking and being with my pups and family. I have been married to Ethan for 1 year and 3 months. We are expecting our first baby in April!! Ethan works for News Channel 8 as a News Reporter. I have a TWIN sister that has twin girls!!
If I could be any book character I would want to be Flat Stanley because I could go and see lots of cool places for free.
One thing I want to do that I have never done before is travel outside the country, hopefully when things calm down in the world I can make that happen.
My favorite quote is- With God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26
Also- TODAY IS MRS. HUTCHINS BIRTHDAY!!!! WHAT A GREAT DAY TO HONOR HER AS OUR STAFF SPOTLIGHT!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. HUTCHINS!!!
