I’m Mrs. Voyles, and I’m excited to share a little about myself. Ilived in Winona until the summer of 1993 and moved to Van Buren,where I attended school from Kindergarten through my Senior year.Growing up, I didn’t have a favorite subject, but I enjoyed history andliterature classes. And let’s be honest, lunch was probably myfavorite!When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband,Brandon, and our children, Ryder, Reid, and Sloan. Away fromteaching, I love supporting Winona’s athletic teams—Go Wildcats! Ialso enjoy watching Ryder, Reid, and Sloan play sports and spendingquality time with my family at the river.I became an aide in 2013-2014 and realized teaching was my truecalling. I love making connections with my students and celebratingtheir successes. I strive to make learning fun, like when my 8thgraders solved a murder mystery before our mystery unit. I believelearning takes hard work, and with persistence, anyone can succeed.My favorite book is the Bible; at home, we have a fish named Bob andsome cows. I played many sports in high school and earned awards ineach. If I could travel anywhere, I’d love to visit Hawaii. In theclassroom, I hold students to high standards, expect them to beprepared, and support them every step of the way as they worktoward success.TEACHER INTERVIEWMRS. VOYLESTEACHER INTERVIEWMRS.

TEACHER INTERVIEWTEACHER INTERVIEWMrs.Roberts grew up in Eminence, Missouri,but attended Winona school from 6ththrough 12th grade. She says her favoritesubject has always been English because sheloves reading and writing. She has oneyounger sister, Mrs. West, our math teacher.When she's not teaching, she loves reading,spending time with her family and friends,playing video games, sewing, and crafting.Mrs. Roberts' favorite book is Pride andPrejudice by Jane Austen; her favorite movieis the 1991 cartoon version of Beauty andthe Beast. She has one dog named Sam, whoshe says loves Mr.Roberts more than her. Afun fact about her that most people don'tknow is that this interview wouldn't haveexisted if she had known while she wasgrowing up that being a professionalMermaid was going to be a job. If she couldtravel anywhere, she would visit Venice.MRS. ROBERTSMRS. ROBERTSMrs. Roberts was inspired to start teaching byher teachers because she wanted to be ateacher for someone else. Her favorite part ofteaching is the students. She loves seeing themget excited about projects. She likes to makelearning fun by telling jokes and using moviereferences. She also includes things thatstudents enjoy. She wishes all her studentsknew that learning is different for everyone anddoesn't make you better or worse than anyoneelse. Mrs. Roberts has three big classroomexpectations: be respectful, responsible, andconsiderate. She tends to tell students thatshe's proud of them. One of her favoritememories from teaching was watching so manystudents get excited about our propagandaprojects this year. She handles challenges byregulating her emotions First. She tries to offerunderstanding also.
