Hello. My name is Sandy Ruhlman, and I currently teach 7th grade English, 9th grade advanced English, and 12th grade English.  I love teaching and working with kids, and I do so both in the classroom and in the athletic arena.  In addition to teaching, I also coach cross country and basketball, and much of my free time is spent focused around sports. I love challenging kids to learn and grow academically and athletically.  I want them to gain confidence in their skills, to set goals, and to rise to the challenge of meeting those goals. 

On the home front, you can probably hear my family coming...we have five girls!  (There is no such thing as quiet in my house.) We are fun-loving, athletic, and silly (at times).  We enjoy traveling,  and our most recent challenging adventures were hiking the Grand Canyon and climbing Mount Katahdin.

Here are some random pieces of information to get to know me:

Favorite color: blue

Favorite food: ice cream

Favorite book: The Kite Runner, The Book Thief, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Poisonwood Bible, A Man Called Ove...hey, I'm an English teacher--it's too hard to pick just one!  :)

Travel is something I enjoy.  Here are a few places I've explored:

• backpacked Europe for 7 weeks
• hiked the Grand Canyon 3x
• Canadian Rockies
• Australia 2x

I still love competitions and like to compete in 3 on 3 basketball tournaments, road races, and triathlons.  I've even finished an Ironman (swim 2.5 miles, bike 112 miles, run 26.2 miles)--crazy, I know, but hey...we're all crazy in our own way.
