A note from Mrs. Robertson Pitts:

I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, gardening, softball, frisbee, swimming, boating and more. I also enjoy sewing, painting, crafting and cooking.

Science is life! As a middle school science teacher, I work to ensure that my students live out their learning. They experience hand’s on learning, exposure and real-world experiences. Over the years I have invited professionals to visit with my students from a variety of careers to share their time and experiences. This open up doors, encourage dreams, spark ideas, introduce careers and endless possibilities. Turning the impossible to I’M POSSIBELE!
