Osmotherly Bio

Hello
everyone. My name is Michelle Osmotherly and I am going into
my third year of teaching 4th grade in Hemingford. The past two years has been a terrific experience for me and from those experiences I will build on to make another great year.
I was raised in
Crawford, Nebraska and attended K-12 in the public school
system. While in high school I spent time in the Kindergarten
room as an aid, as well as, a tutor for junior high and high school
students. After high school I went to Chadron State
College to pursue my dream of being a teacher. In May 2005, I
graduated with my Bachelor of Science degree in
Education. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Ryan. He is also a teacher. He teaches Science at Crawford as well as responsible for many other duties, such as coaching. With our busy lives we barely get to see each other. This summer we spent time visiting family. Ryan's younger brother and his wife had a baby girl, Emma Kae, in July so I'm an Auntie. It is so exciting! Along with visiting we also worked on our house and found that we are quite handy, or something like that. Not really!
I have two
younger siblings, Michael and Melissa. Michael finished college at Kearney and got a job on the North Platte Fire Department. He really enjoys it and keeps him busy. Melissa lives in Alliance now and is working at the Veterns Home as well as taking a full load of classes at Chadron State. My mother, Rhonda, has her own beauty shop in
Crawford and also waitresses at Fort Robinson. My father,
Stan, works for Qwest and repairs phone lines and country work for the
Crawford-Harrison area. I enjoy doing
many things with family. I like to play and watch basketball
and volleyball as well as jump on the trampoline. Even though
I am an adult I am really a kid at heart. I also love to scrapbook and remodel my house. My goals for
this year are to increase the students' enthusiasm for school and
learning, and provide them with the background to be confident
individuals. It is amazing what can be done when you believe
in yourself.
