We welcome Mrs. Claire Martin for the 2024-25 school year. She will become our new Creative Arts and Movement Specials Teacher. We are excited to have her join our teaching team.
She is a highly qualified veteran teacher. She has taught Elementary children for 20 years.
Her teaching degree is from Western Michigan University with a minor in Integrative Arts.
She also has been a performing artist in schools as she performed mime skits for students. She also engaged students in workshops and performance. She has been a guest artist in local schools and libraries. She has attended Dance for Educators workshops and Storytelling workshops.
She would like to share these movement skills to integrate academic skills such as reading, history and have students learn to express themselves! She can also turn a parable, such as the Good Samaritan, into a skit!
She looks forward to working with our students. She lives in Buchanan with her husband. She has three grown children.
