BK Staff of the Week
Mr. David Redinger:
Community, Activities
- Advanced Sports Med is my favorite class because every time I go, I know that I'm going to learn, while also having fun. Every time I go to not only a class, but also when I go to a sport to help with sports med, I feel like I am part of a family.
- Mr. Redinger always makes his class fun and I look forward to it every day. the sports med class is very hands-on and makes it easier to learn. Plus we do fun activities pretty often.
- I think that he shows the attribute of activities for him helping to care for anyone who is injured on any of the sports teams.
