Mrs. Callahan, Preschool 4 homeroom teacher
Mrs. Callahan loves teaching, but when she isn't in the classroom, she loves traveling around the U.S. with her family in their travel trailer. Her 3 daughters named their trailer Guinevere, after the Disney movie, Onward, where the characters are always seeking adventure (much like the Callahans)!
Mrs. Callahan's life dream is to visit all 63 U.S. National Parks! So far, she and her family have visited The Virgin Islands National Park underwater, The Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Arches National Park in Utah, Canyonlands in Utah, The Grand Canyon in Arizona, Petrified Forest in Arizona, Zion National Park in Utah, and Bryce Canyon in Utah. This summer they plan on heading out to Yellowstone National Park in Montana and The Grand Tetons in Wyoming.
Mrs. Callahan's love of traveling to National Parks was sparked from her oldest daughter, Camryn, who is the biggest adventurer in her family! Camryn (5th grade at MSHS) could tell you all about the geography in the various areas they travel to! Mrs. Callahan loves learning so much through these experiences that she can then share with her students in the school year! In fact, she always ends each school year with a camping unit for her preschool class!
Mrs. Callahan's family also enjoys camping at nearby campgrounds in Missouri in the Fall and Spring months. Summer is dedicated to their month-long endeavors around the United States, which her teaching career luckily is perfect for! She always returns to school in August with fresh new ideas from her adventures!
