New Teacher: Ms. Hale

     Jessica Hale (Ms. Hale) is a new teacher here at Riverbend High School.  This is her first year teaching, but she student taught here last spring. Ms. Hale just graduated from The University of Mary Washington and got her Bachelor’s degree in English.  She is a lover of all movies especially ones that make you think. Her idea of happiness happens to be Snickers ice cream bars and spending time with family.  On her way to work she listens to a variety of music. One of her favorite radio stations is Sirius XM.  If she ever won a million dollars, she would like to pay off student loans and go on vacation.  Ms. Hale teaches English 10 in room 152 and said, “Riverbend has an incredibly welcoming staff and (mostly) great students.”  Her favorite part of being at Riverbend so far is that her students have been really energetic and positive. She chose to be a teacher because it keeps her engaged and passionate even though there are ups and downs.  “Knowledge is power,” is her favorite quote.
