My name is Michel Stern and I began teaching at Chippewa in the fall of 2017. I am a 2003 graduate of Mounds View High School and love teaching in my home district. I'm eager to teach your child and share my love and passion of Physical Education and Health with them! After graduating high school, I attended St. Kate's where I earned my Bachelor's in Exercise and Sport Science and played four years of basketball. I continued on to earn a Master's from the University of Minnesota and then returned to St. Kate's to get my teaching license. Education is where I am meant to be.
My first six years of teaching were spent in St. Francis, MN at St. Francis Middle School where I taught PE. I had the opportunity to help recreate the curriculum and try new and innovative activities. I hope to share some of my experiences with your children in the coming school year.
My passions include spending time with family and friends as well as cooking and baking. In my free time you can find me with family, biking, swimming, coaching, listening to music, reading, playing games, being outside and competing in or supporting friends in road races, or traveling the world. I have six nephews and one niece who mean the world to me and I try and spend as much time as I can with them.
