Messing National Board Certified Teacher of History/Social Studies 2010 Washington State Civic Educator of the Year 2010 Washington State Social Studies Teacher of the Year  I love teaching and learning about history. When I am not teaching I can be found working out at the YMCA, playing softball, reading good books at Barnes and Nobles, or hanging out with my family/two adorable dogs and friends. I am very easy to get along with and I view my parents/guardians as partners. | |
