Greetings!

The 2022-23 school year is my 15th year as an educator and coach for the West Muskingum Local School District.  I spent my first 12 years at West teaching at the High School; one year as an Intervention Specialist, teaching History, and 11 years teaching Health, Physical Education and Physical Fitness.  This is my third year at the Middle School teaching 8th grade Health (for high school graduation credit) and 5th-7th grade Physical Education.  I am entering into my 15th year as the varsity men's soccer coach this fall and this is my 25th year coaching.  At West Muskingum, I am very fortunate and blessed to be working with such an incredible staff who truly care about each student's success in the classroom and, more importantly, in life!

CB's Classroom Expectations:
1) Put Health & Safety first in ALL your decisions!
2) Be RESPECTFUL!
3) Be RESPONSIBLE!
4) Be RESILIENT!
5) Give RELENTLESS EFFORT!


2022-23 "Blended Learning" (BL) assignments will be posted under the Health & P.E. subpages to the left of your screen on inclement weather days 6, 7, and 8.  *Reminder- 5th & 6th grade students will only need to complete these assignments when they are scheduled to have P.E. and school is closed that day.*  Students will also receive emails from Google Classroom that will include the specific link to their BL assignment.

If you have a question about any of my courses or the men's soccer program, please contact me using my school email or phone number and I will be happy to help!

Have a great day!
CB
