Hello everyone! My name is Kaitlynn Williams and I teach 7th Grade PE/Health at Dutch Fork Middle School. I grew up in Plattsburgh, New York and just moved to Columbia at the beginning of July. I graduated with an Associate's degree in Psychology from Clinton Community College, a Bachelor's in Physical Education from SUNY Cortland, and I am currently obtaining my Master's in Health Education from SUNY Brockport. I was fortunate enough to play Rugby during my senior year of college and compete in a Powerlifting meet through USAPL. I was also assigned as head coach for Girl's Varsity Flag Football at my former high school last spring, and am currently coaching JV/Varsity Football at a nearby school. I spend my spare time riding my motorcycle (Honda CBR600rr) and playing with my 2 cats and 2 dogs. I also enjoy reading and painting and value the arts equally to sports. This will be my first year as an educator in a content area and I am ecstatic to interact with and teach all of your students!

Our goal is to teach students how to live a healthy and active lifestyle. Our curriculum provides each student with exposure to many different sports skills, fitness concepts, and health related material. Through this curriculum, it is our hope that each student finds something they enjoy and will apply those skills and knowledge throughout their life. A healthy and active lifestyle is possible for anyone! Using the skills and knowledge we provide will make living healthy an easy choice! :)
We will be using google classroom for all assignments. Please feel free to contact me via email at kwilliams2@lexrich5.org with any questions or concerns.
