Ms. Haley
Ms. Haley has been teaching here at the Chartiers Valley Intermediate School for 25 years. She taught 3rd grade for one year and 5th grade for 24 years. She loves teaching 5th grade - especially Math! Ms. Haley and Mrs. Kern have been teaching partners for almost all their time at CV, and Ms. Haley is very grateful to have the BEST partner! Ms. Haley grew up in North Fayette Township and went to West Allegheny High School. She attended Grove City College for her degree in Elementary Education.
Ms. Haley lives in Hopewell Township now with Mark and their dog, Rainy, who just turned 2. They LOVE their dog! Ms. Haley is an avid hockey fan and travels with friends almost every year to see the Pittsburgh Penguins play in another city - or two! She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading A LOT, playing with Rainy, any beach, and, most of all, traveling to places she has never been and having exciting new adventures!
Justin Leidy
Mr. Leidy has been teaching for twenty-two years. He taught middle school language arts for 12 years in varied districts and has been with Chartiers Valley at the IS for the past ten. Mr. Leidy is in his sixth year teaching fifth-grade language arts and has never looked back, as this is the content area and grade level for which he is unequivocally passionate. Mr. Leidy grew up in Baldwin where he was a distance runner on the cross-country and track and field teams. He went to Duquesne University as a member of the rowing team and California University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his graduate degree in a reading specialist.
Mr. Leidy lives in Pleasant Hills with his wife, Anne, a talented runner and PT, his sons Max and Henry, and his constant friend, a Brittany Pointer named Shaffer. Max runs high school cross country and plays baseball for the TJ Jaguars and summer ball for the Mon Valley Miners. Hank is a trumpet player in the TJ middle school band, is on a recreational swim team, and participates in Boy Scouts. For recreation, Mr. Leidy enjoys spending time with his family and supporting them in their endeavors. He is an avid fly fisherman and a small game hunter passionate about running and handling upland bird dogs. Mr. Leidy enjoys taking walks daily (ask him about his streak), the mountains, the Peloton spinning bike, and riding outdoor bicycles.
Mr. Leidy is most likely dreaming about instructing his fifth graders to compose structured analysis through TDA essays. He loves TDAs!
