Mrs. Kateri Odle, HMS Administrative Assistant, has been with HMS for 6 years now. In her spare time she enjoys baking, hanging out with friends either poolside or fireside depending on the season, and traveling. Mrs. Odle’s favorite food is Mexican, but Italian is a close 2nd. One thing unique about Mrs. Odle is that she only has 10 more states to visit, and then she will have visited all 50 states of the USA. When asked why she loves HMS, she said, “I truly love this building and all the students and staff in it! The kids at HMS are at such a fun age. They are enjoying some freedoms of being big kids now, but are still willing to learn and engage and question how the world works.” Thanks Kateri for all that you do to support everyone at HMS!

Mrs. Krista Ginestra, 8 Black Science, is new to HMS this year, but has been teaching for 16 years. She enjoys camping, reading, spending time with her family, and getting outdoors whenever possible. Here favorite sweet treats are Peanut M&Ms! One thing you may not know about Mrs. Ginestra is that she tried out for the circus while in college. When asked what her favorite thing is about teaching she said, “I love watching students have the AHA moments! Teaching is my passion.” Thanks Mrs. Ginestra for all that you do to inspire students.
