About Me
For parents and students who don't know me, my name is Mr. Nice, for those that I finished off the year with last year, it's great to be back. I've returned to Russell Intermediate School, following a 4 month stint last year, and I'm excited about another year of teaching in the area. I will be teaching 7/8 Math, Grade 8 Language, Grade 8 Phys Ed. and two Grade 7 Core French classes this year.
I enjoy just about any sport that comes to mind basketball, soccer, rugby, tennis, golf, snowshoeing, hiking and skiing just to name a few. (You can see the summit of New Hampshire's Table Rock below!) During free time I enjoy getting out and sailing in the summer and even finding the occasional geocache throughout the year. Anything to keep active is very important for me.
I completed my education degree from Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and have been very fortunate to be able to teach steadily over the past few years. I'm originally from New Brunswick, however, my wife and I now call Ottawa home after many years living in Rothesay, New Brunswick. Education is something that is very important to me and knowing that students are all learning at the same pace is key. Being able to learn and have a good time should go hand in hand. I'll always be looking for feedback from students and parents alike throughout the school year so if there are any issues, concerns or you'd just like to drop me a line, please, feel free.

Why Weebly?
This website is going to be a vital resource for all the learning needs of all students that I will be teaching throughout this school year. Although materials will be available in class for different assignments, projects, and outlines they will be available on the Weebly in digital copies as well for students to have easy access to information. Also, I am aware that in my advanced age moving closer and closer to gray whiskers showing themselves and more white shoes being added to my closet, I may overlook something that needs to be added. A gentle nudge in the right direction and I will add any missing material ASAP, but, don't count on that happening very often. Any requests for materials to be posted will be accomodated.
