Scara is a life-long learner and educator. Recently becoming a National Board Certified Teacher, Scara serves as the Fine Arts Department Head, Head Theatre Director, Dance Team and Pep Squad Coach for her middle school. At the district level, Scara is a new teacher mentor, has written theatre curriculum, and facilitates the annual Tech Design Contest. Having begun in theatre at a young age, Scara’s naive 17-year-old self believed a college degree in theatre would not be beneficial (she was wrong) and elected for an even more useless degree: English Literature. Having no prospects upon graduation, Scara completed a teaching program and found her calling. 

While Scara loves her borrowed kids (students), they come second to her home life with her wonderful husband, daughter, and son. 

When needing a mental break, you can find Scara in her craft room, reading Harry Potter for the thirty-billionth time, or playing with her four dogs, two cats, and snake.

Sly has been an educator for over a decade. She has taught music ranging from PreK to High School. She first because interested in music in 4th grade when she was chosen to play the bell set during the spring concert. This sparked a deep excitement to learn other instruments and join band in 5th grade. She became proficient on multiple instruments throughout her years in school. Upon realizing band was THE reason she showed up for school, Sly found her path, never dreaming she’d end up a choir teacher, but truly enjoying it! 

Sly loves her quirky middle school students, but when school is out, you can find her spending time with her amazing daughter and friends. 

When life gets overwhelming Sly likes to kick back with video games, baking, reading, puzzles, diamond art, or one of the other 643 crafts she’s started. She fully believes the sending of memes, gifs, and funny videos to friends counts as a love language.
