Mr. Simmelink's Site

My name is Ryan Simmelink and this is my fifth year in a teacher leadership role (currently serving as a PK-2 Instructional Coach) after 14 years as a fourth grade teacher at Adams Elementary. I grew up in Adair, Iowa and graduated from Adair-Casey High School. I graduated from Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa and completed my masters degree in Education Leadership at Drake University.  My wife and I have been married 19 years and we have a 14 year old daughter and a 11 year old daughter. I enjoy rooting for the Iowa Hawkeyes, Chicago Cubs and Manchester City. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, graphic design and listening to music.
