Teacher of the Week

Bryan Morgan

Morgan drives from Manchester every day to teach at a smaller school because he ?likes smaller schools where everybody knows everybody.?

He likes sports and athletics and likes being around children so if you combine the two you have a PE teacher as well as a coach.

?I coached four basketball teams this year,? said Morgan.

If that?s not enough, Morgan also coaches girls softball in Morrison. Coaching all these sports and teaching PE keeps him busy once he gets past the excuses.

?I hear a bunch every week,? said Morgan. ?I?ve got a stack of excuses in here that looks like a book.?

As for excuses, the most amazing one Morgan has ever heard might be the worst he?s ever heard, and the children can be pretty inventive when they need to be, he says

?I had one student tell me they couldn?t run because their thumb hurt,? said Morgan. ?What am I supposed to do about that??
