I am happiest when creating. Art is all around us every day. I was surrounded by visual images growing up in NYC and spent many hours walking through the exhibition halls of the Metropolitan, Guggenheim and Museum of Modern Art. I wanted to be an artist from a very young age and soaked up the variety and quality of art displayed in store windows, theaters, galleries and museums.
Sharing my love of making art with our students is pure joy. Art making fosters creativity, critical thinking, and cultural appreciation, nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills to express themselves and engage with the world imaginatively.

Geneva Sambor
I grew up in Antwerp, Belgium for ten years of my life before moving to Plymouth to pursue my teaching degree in English/Language Arts 5-12.
I started teaching Grade 6 English/Language Arts at PES in 2018, and I still love English just as much as I love technology. It is my passion to promote all kinds of literacy, which is why I am now teaching digital literacy to our K-8 students. Our students deserve to be ready for anything when it comes to technology, and they should strive to always be curious about how the world operates. The most important part about our digital learning class is for students to teach and reteach skills to one another.

Trevan Sanborn
My name is Trevan Sanborn. I grew up in Plymouth, NH and attended Plymouth Elementary School and Plymouth Regional High School so I am very familiar with this school and the district. I am beyond excited to have the opportunity to continue my career at PES and work with the amazing young minds here at PES and to watch them grow as learners.
In my Physical Education and Health classroom I believe sportsmanship, collaboration and challenge are all important aspects of learning for my students. I look forward to fostering an environment that is not about winning but about working with others and completing a goal or task as a group instead of individual accomplishment.
Throughout my career at Plymouth my goal is to coach as many sports as I can. Sports are my passion and passing on my knowledge and enjoyment of sports is something I strive to do for the students here at PES. All students deserve a chance at success and a chance to learn about something new and to be a part of something bigger such as a team.
Overall, I cannot wait to see all the growth in the students here at PES and their continued success in all subjects. The most important thing is to try your best and have fun! Let's go Cats!

Who doesn't love a good story? I sure do! My first love is being outdoors. I have a Bachelor degree in Outdoor Education and Parks Administration from Western Kentucky University. I have lived as far south as Birmingham, Alabama and as far west as Port Townsend, Washington - I love to travel! I moved to New Hampshire 30 years ago to ski and fell in love with the White Mountains. I did my graduate studies at Plymouth State University, earning a Master's in Educational Technology to complement my Library Media work.

This is my 10th year teaching at Plymouth Elementary School. I have always loved music and started playing guitar in 5th grade! When I was in High School being a part of musical groups gave me a great feeling of belonging to something bigger than myself which led me to choose to become a music teacher. Guitar is my favorite instrument, and you will often hear me playing it in the halls!
I am looking forward to another great year with all of you! I can't wait to see everyone's smiling faces and start to make some awesome music.

This is my 14th year as a PE teacher at PES and my first year teaching 5-6 Health. I also taught as a professor at PSU for eight years. I hold a B.S. in Adventure Education and an MEd in Educational Leadership. My thesis was on the motivational and behavioral impact of music in PE, so I play it all of the time! I am certified PE K-12 and Wilderness First Responder. I have served in AmeriCorps, been a snowboard coach, led international students of all ages in backcountry experiences and traveled all over Europe on trains, planes, bikes, boats and cars!
If we want to compete, we need to know how to cooperate with each other, first. My style of teaching helps students develop those skills through experiential learning. We'll breathe hard and sweat, but we'll have a lot of fun doing so. One thing I am REALLY good at, is playing!
In Health, I often use open forum discussion led by text and supplemental materials. Using an experiential education model, students are able to connect the content to their own personal experiences, therefore creating transferability of knowledge gained to future endeavors.
I can't wait to share some new experiences with you!

¡Buenos días a todos! I learned Spanish just like many of our students will; beginning in school. In high school, I was an exchange student in Madrid which cemented my love for the language. In college, I majored in Spanish with a minor in education. Growing up I had a neighbor who was a language teacher in a nearby school inspiring me to return to the area after graduation and begin teaching.
I love bringing a second language and its culture to students in a fun and interactive classroom developing students' sense of comfort with a "foreign" language.
September has been a great start to the year as I get to know the students, staff, and the families!
Hasta pronto,
Señora (Kitty) Greene

I was honored to be named the 2023 Civil Air Patrol National Aerospace/STEM Teacher of the Year! The award is presented by the CAP National Commander Maj. Gen. Edward Phelka.
STEM (or Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) involves using what we know (math and science) to systematically solve problems (engineering) using tools, materials and processes of technology.
STEM Class will concentrate on learning engineering ‘habits of mind’: design, problem solving, critical thinking, innovation, collaboration, communication and trial-and-error as they apply math and science concepts to solve engineering design challenges.
This is my 29th year at Plymouth Elementary School! I am excited to begin a new year exploring the ways our students can learn and see and solve challenges they see around them in the world!
