Angela Straubel
Reading Workshop/8th Grade ELA Teacher
Platte City Middle School
Even though I have been teaching since 2001, I am amazed everyday and excited at what a perfect career path I chose! I received my degree in Elementary Education from Park University, a Masters in Curriculum from Webster University, and a second Masters in Reading from Park University. I also have an undergraduate degree in Sports Medicine and Athletic Training from Missouri State. I have worked in elementary and middle schools classrooms; as well as in large and small districts. I value each experience I've had and use the experiences to help me in my current position on a daily basis. I am also honored to coach the middle school cross country team. It is awesome to share my passion for running with some pretty amazing kids. I am married to John, a Kansas City Missouri police officer. We have two children who graduated from Platte County. I love watching my kids, genetic and school kids, succeed at something they work so hard at. As for me, I love a few things besides my family...such as Cherry Coke Zero. I'm also addicted to lip gloss. You should know that I like things neat and organized but also recognize that creativity, learning, and success sometimes looks messy! Our Classroom Goal: We will learn, and have fun while doing it, in a safe, caring and respectful environment.
