My name is David Azurmendi and this is my second year at Sarah Smith. I am
beginning my eighth year teaching and am very excited about the new year.
I am a native of Atlanta and received my Physical Education Degree from the
University of Georgia. I also hold a Master's in Instructional Technology,
and I begin my Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership from George
Washington University in the Fall. In addition to being a physical education
teacher, I am a proud father of two little boys, Davis and Brady,and a
devoted husband to my wife Mattie.
Coach DuBois is beginning her fifth year at Sarah Smith. Originally from
central New York, she has taught in various grade levels throughout her
teaching career. With a Master's degree in Motor (Muscle) Learning and a
great appreciation for the environment, she, too, is looking forward to a
most diverse and rewarding year for her students.
Coach Standriff is starting her first year at Sarah Smith, and she will be
working with us part-time this year. Kyle has been with Atlanta Public
Schools for many years, and is looking forward to the new opportunity.
The physical education program at Sarah Smith is designed to teach our
students the importance of physical activity and to expose them to a variety
of things that will encourage them to engage in life long physical
activity. The lower grades K-2 focus a great deal of time on motor and
skill development while the upper grades 3-5 focus more and fitness and game
related skills. The ultimate goal of our program is to make sure that
students are excercising in a fun and safe environment.
