Hello my name is Mrs. Creer and I’m so happy to be your teacher! I started teaching last year at Las Vegas High School and I’m not your average teacher. I’m a lot older than most teachers who begin a career in teaching and that means I come with a lot of unique experience. I have been a mother of my six children for the last 20 years working hard to help them become amazing human beings. It was important to me that I could be there as much as possible to run them to and from their school events and extra activities. I wanted to be there to plant in their little minds all the life lessons and every day teaching that would happen at unexpected moments. I love being a mom! I have four daughters and two sons ranging in age from 11 to 23 and the last two were twins!
The other big passion I have is taking care of my health and helping others do the same! I have worked as a certified personal trainer for 15 years and a group fitness instructor teaching indoor cycling, strength training, and flexibility classes. I have worked directly with older adults in fitness as well. I became a high school teacher so that I could share my passion with all of you! The choices that you make with regard to your health in these high school years is so important and sets the potential habits that can continue for a lifetime.
In my classroom I have lettering on the wall that states, “What you water grows”. This statement is kind of my main philosophy in my classes. If you take care of a plant it will give back to you in ways you cannot measure fully. For example one apple tree seed can produce up to 500 apples in one season. That same small seed can produce for up to 20 years. You must nurture it and provide the proper care including nutrients, sunlight and water. With regard to your health including mental, emotional, social, and physical health, you must care for each of these properly. Over time those who care for their body, mind, and spirit see greater happiness and peace in life, while those who have been reckless in what they eat and drink, careless in how they physically use their bodies, or have fed negative thoughts and taken no care in stimulating their minds regularly, begin to see diminished quality of life. It does not happen overnight just as a tree does not create fruit for some time. Care must be taken daily to watch for disease, damage, and issues that may damage the results. Watering regularly with the proper nutrients, will generally lead to good results and yet it is pretty miraculous to observe the fruits of your labors! (another hobby of mine is that I love to work in my little garden.)
Our health truly is our wealth in life and my job as your teacher is to educate and inspire my students to nurture and love themself to take care of their greatest asset.
Your health.
I look forward to learning more about you and what inspires you.
