Katherine+Metiva

My name is Katherine Metiva. I teach 3rd grade at Woodcrest Elementary. I can't believe that this is going to be my 19th year...I used to be one of the young ones. What happened!?!?

My husband Mike and I have three awesome boys. Michael will be in the 10th grade at HH Dow, Zachary will be in the 8th grade at Jefferson, and Evan will be in the 4th grade at Woodcrest. We are members of the Tittabawassee Valley Fife and Drum Corps which keeps us very busy (especially in the summer). We spend most of our weekends driving to and performing in parades in various place in our beautiful state. Last weekend we were in the Boyne Falls Polish Festival Parade and next weekend we'll be at the Gladwin Carriage Festival.

Our family just finished a great summer project. We built an awesome fire pit in our backyard. I think we will have lots of fun with family and friends making s'mores and spending time together.

I love to read during the summer. I just finished The Help and am anxious for the movie to come out this weekend. I used to be an avid scrapbooker, but I am currently experiencing extreme scrapbooking anxiety because I don't have my photos printed/organized. I'm hoping this class will help me get organized and inspired.
