We are continuing our rebooted Staff Spotlight series of blog posts to introduce the community to more of our staff. This is Cathie Eames's 22nd year as a valued part of Haycock Elementary.

What do you love about Haycock?

Haycock truly is the most wonderful school community to be a part of. It's my second family!

What makes you smile or brings you calm?

The joy of seeing a familiar face. 

A good laugh. 

The sound of the ocean.

What books are you currently reading?

Currently reading 3 different books: 

• The Tao of Pooh; The Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff
• Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
• Under Currents by Nora Roberts

That's just this week!

What other media entertains you?

On TV, I love "The Big Bang Theory" & "Resident Alien". I love foreign movies with subtitles. I love all different genres of music!

What fills your time outside of school?

I'm an avid gardener and like landscaping design. I hike, practice yoga, walk my dogs, paint, decorate, and travel with good friends and family whenever possible.  

Our students love "fun facts" about people and topics. What's a fun fact about you?

My daughter Hayley came up with the name "Speedy" for our school turtle.
