I have worked here for 24 years and it was the very first school I taught. When I am not at school, my favorite hob- bies are coaching my daughter’s softball team, working at the golf course, and golfing. I love to watch the Masters Golf Tour- nament to pass time. I love the sport golf, but did not play it as a kid. In spite of playing golf, I was still very active when I was younger. I wrestled, played baseball, and football. Like every other people, I have inspirations, too. My father and former football coach inspires me the most. I also love eating at a res- taurant called Starboard. I love to order the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Think you know who that teacher is? Send your guesses to Mr. Stagl in room 108! The first 20 students with the correct re- sponse will win a sharpened Ticonderoga pencil! DIY HALLOWEEN COSTUMES 4.
