Belpre is excited to introduce Mrs. Amanda Riggleman! Mrs. Riggleman graduated from Marietta College in 2020 with a Bachelor's degree in Education, with a focus on Intervention. She is currently finishing up her Masters degree through Capella University. She will graduate in June with a degree in Psychology, specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis. Mrs. Riggleman had various field placements in many different schools in Washington County throughout college. She also completed her student teaching experience at Warren Middle School.
Mrs. Riggleman is our 6th grade cross curricular teacher, focusing mainly on writing. She is located in the Elementary school, room 211, where she is adjusting nicely to the students and the environment! When asked why she became a teacher, she stated that she knew she wanted to be a teacher when she was in 6th grade; now here she is, teaching 6th grade and loving every second of it! We welcome Mrs. Riggleman to Belpre and we look forward to seeing the positive impact she makes on our students.
This week we would like to introduce Mrs. Sarah Kaufman! Mrs. Kaufman graduated from West Virginia University at Parkersburg in the Spring of 2021. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Biology along with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, K-6. Mrs. Kaufman gained classroom experience during her student teaching hours at Neale Elementary school. She also was a substitute teacher for Wood County schools for 3 years, where she taught all grade levels.
Mrs. Kaufman teaches 5th grade Math here at Belpre Elementary school, where she is warming up to the kids very nicely! She is located in the Elementary school building, room 208, where she would love for you to stop in and say hello! When asked why Mrs. Kaufman decided to become a teacher, she stated that she had originally wanted to pursue a career in biology, but after having her own children and being in the classroom, she quickly fell in love with being around kids. After Mrs. Kaufman decided to take a different route with her career, she began pursuing her education degree while substitute teaching. We are thrilled to have Mrs. Kaufman at our school, and we look forward to watching her flourish here at Belpre!
