Hello 7th Grade Students and Families! My name is Marsha Boyd and I am one of the 7th grade Learning Specialists! I have been teaching 30 years...26 of those have been at the middle school level! I think 7th graders are a total blast! Along side teaching middle-schoolers, I also coach a variety of high school sports throughout the school year that I thoroughly enjoy! I am involved with church activities and anything that my kids are involved in. I love camping, sports of all kinds and spending time with my wonderful husband and two adult kids. I am pumped for the coming year and getting to know you and your students! We are going to have a fabulous school year!
