April Puett

My name is April Puett and I am the Health and Physical Education teacher at Candler Elementary. I have been working at Candler since 2010. Before coming to Candler, I taught Health Education for Buncombe County Schools from 2008-2010. I graduated from Western Carolina University in 2009 with a Masters in PE and earned my undergraduate degree from Mars Hill University in 2007. I am a product of Buncombe County Schools, with K-12 education in the Owen school district.

Students at Candler Elementary will participate in a variety of physical activities that develop motor and manipulative skills. Students will engage with one another in sports, cooperative games, and other fitness activities. My focus in class is encouraging students to enjoy life-long physical activity and healthy lifestyles. Many of our PE lesson integrate math and literacy while focusing on NC Healthy Living standards.
