Answer the following questions...bet you'll be surprised!!!

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world?
2. Name the last five heisman trophy winners?
3. Name the last five Miss America winners?
4. Name ten people who have won either the pulitzer or Nobel prize?
5. Name the last ten academy award winners for best actor and actress?
6. Name the last ten years of world series winners?

Did you do well? The entire point here is that no one ever really remembers the headliners of years past. These aren't second tier award winners. They are the best in their fields, but when the applause dies down and they are no longer in the limelight, their awards tarnish, and their achievements are forgotten.

Now try this quick quiz,

1. List some teachers who have helped your journey through your school years
2. Name three friends who helped you through difficult times
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile
4. Think about a few people who made or make you feel appreciated or special
5. Think of five people who you enjoy spending time with.

Did you find this easier? The lesson?  The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones who hold the most credentials,the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care! 

Hello, My name is Christi Maloney!  I'm excited about the 2010-2011 school year!  I have been a physical education specialist in the St. Peter Schools for 14 years!  This is my 5th year at South.

When I'm not teaching, my family receives my undivided attention! I'm married to a wonderful, energetic, exceptionally fun, and awesome dad named Matt!  We have been blessed with 2 beautiful children, Abby (4) and PJ (2 1/2).  Our family enjoys riding bike, walks, swimming, swinging at the park, playing at the playgrounds, traveling to visit friends & relatives, golf cart rides, 4 wheeling, snowmobiling, fishing/boating, "playing" in the flower & vegetable garden, and reading!  When I get some alone time I enjoy making cards, digital  scrapbooking, biking, cross-stitch, surfing the net, talking to family or friends, and reading. 

I'm looking forward to a fun & active year with your child!  Please do not hesitate to call (507)934-2754 ext 245 or email (cmaloney@stpeterschools.org) me with questions!  Be sure to check out notes to parents and the month activity calendars to reinforce what is being taught in class and to keep your child active!
