About me
Welcome to 8th-grade Literature & Language Arts with Ms. Matis! I'm excited for another year at TMS!
My passions include teaching a love of creative writing, inspiring confidence while reading, encouraging pride in a student's individual strengths, and instilling the importance of strong ethics and character.
Outside of school, I love reading, doing puzzles, listening to true crime podcasts, taking photos on nature walks, playing board games or cards with friends, and spending time with my family and my three sweet pups.
The 2021-22 school year marks my 23rd year in the district, and my 26th year teaching overall.
