Mrs. Laurie Hylen
Physical Education Teacher
Share what you enjoy about teaching.
I love teaching PE because I love helping kids learn to find ways that they enjoy to stay active throughout their lives. I also love being outside, which is one of the benefits of my job. The kids need wiggle and physical activity time daily, to stay healthy.
What is your favorite subject to teach and why?
PE because I love the outdoors and love sharing my knowledge with others.
How much does your faith guide you each day, or how has it shaped you into the person that you have become?
I see God in nature on a daily basis, which is the reason I love being outside so much. My favorite place to see and be with God is the Boundary Waters.
What is your favorite hobby to do outside of teaching?
My hobbies include gardening, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, camping, biking and visiting lighthouses. Basically anything outside. I love spending time with my family in any outdoor activity. I especially love my morning walks with Frankie, our dog.
If you were not a teacher, what would your second career choice be?
If I was not a teacher I would be a naturalist or a lighthouse keeper.
Who is your hero or who has been an inspiration to you and why?
My heroes are my family. They taught, and continue to teach, me how to work hard and to help those in need. They have also instilled a strong faith base while growing up. That influence continues to this day.
What wish do you have for your students this school year?
My wish is for my students to have fun being active, whether they are good athletes or not. Staying active throughout their lives will help them keep healthy throughout their lives.
