My name is Mrs. Rittner and I am super excited to teach PE this year! Over the past 15 years I have taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and now PE. This year is the beginning of my 16th year of teaching! I have always had a passion for fitness and if you've been in my class before, you know how much I love sharing about health, nutrition, and movement. I grew up dabling in gymnastics and cheerleading, then as as an adult tapped into my love of music, dance, and the circus by testing out hip hop, aerial silks, and the lyra hoop. My love for yoga and Crossfit have developed more recently and tend to be my favorite forms of exercise. I also love hiking in this beautiful state of ours! (I have stood on the top of 20 Colorado 14ers). I have twins who are in 4th grade here at Laurel, a husband who happens to have a world class mustache, and two sweet dogs. I am excited to teach another year of PE! This year I attended both the CrossFit Kids certification and the CrossFit Level 1 Training and am using those skills in my afterschool club: Lynx Cave Fitness.
