Meet the Mosaic teachers:

Sandra Fary, who lives in Jericho, teaches science. This will be her 34th year teaching! She has taught kindergarten through 12th grade, but loves 7th and 8th grade the most. As an outdoor enthusiast, she believes science should be a hands-on, field experience, whereby students learn about the natural world by investigating their local place. She spent her summer kayaking, hiking, and mountain biking with her two sons (Cooper age 23; Owen age 21). In her spare time, she tends her various gardens, reads novels, designs gardens, and tries out new mushroom recipes. She looks forward to the science adventures she will have with her upcoming students.

Rachel Shusterman, who lives in South Burlington, teaches math. This will be her 15th year teaching at CHMS. She spent her summer tutoring, enjoying time outside (when it wasn’t too wet, too hot, and the air quality was good), visiting with friends and family, traveling around the region, reading lots of books, and taking courses. 

Tom Keblin, who lives in Huntington, teaches social studies. This will be his 18th year teaching! 

Amira Batstone, who lives in Underhill, teaches English Language Arts. This will be her 10th year teaching! She spent the summer enjoying camping, boating, reading, biking and staying at home with her family and friends. Every school year she looks forward to seeing 7th/8th grade students. Mrs. B. treasures the opportunities to build connections with students and work alongside them as they grow through reading, writing, discussing, reflecting and playing together.
