Pierce's Produce
designed by Michelle Pierce
My
name is Michelle Pierce. I work at Burney Harris
Lyons
Middle School
(BHL)
which is located in Athens, Georgia. BHL,
part of the Clarke County School District,
is
named after three prominent, local African American educators. The
school
moved to its
current suburban location from downtown 15 years ago. I live less
than a half mile from campus and am also fortunate enough to have my
youngest child, a rising 7th grader, at the same school.
Originally
a "Jersey girl"
I have lived in Athens for seven years. Before
arriving I made many stops: Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio, West
Virginia, and North Carolina. West Orange, the town I grew up in,
is
home of the Thomas Edison National
Historic Site.
Much of my time was spent at the local ice skating rink (speed skating)
which is the practice site for the New Jersey Devils professional
hockey team. Free time now is a luxury. When I can I bake,
walk, and read.
Working
in the Media Center the past two years has given me the
opportunity to to work with 6th, 7th and 8th graders in a variety of
capacities. I mostly assist the students with reports and
projects, do some tutoring, and of course make book
recommendations. One website that I like personally as well as
for students is freerice.
It
works well individually and with a group if a SmartBoard
is
used.
I am looking forward to moving from the Media Center into the classroom.
