My name is Cathy Travis and I come from a long line of teachers. I guess
you could say it is in my blood. I've been teaching for over 16 years. I've
spent lots of time the last 2 years here at Capshaw. Teaching is my passion.
I spent time doing other things, but it always called me back.
Now about me! I have a wonderful husband, Mark. He is an arbitrator and
mediator. We have a great son, Adam. He is in his final semester of
college.[Yeah!] Politics is his passion. He works in political campaigns.
We have a dog, Pearl. I can make children mind better than her. We have
numerous traveling barn cats. I love to walk and read when I'm not at school.
We go to the beach in the spring and fall. We spend a good bit of time in
Dubois, Wyoming during the summer on horseback at T-Cross Ranch. The rest of
our time is spent with our extended family and our many friends. I can't wait
to get to know your child and your family!
My goal is to help children grow in basic skills, in creativity, in life
skills, and in the ability to solve
problems. I want children to practice fair and good citizenship habits in our
classroom and school
because I want them to be good community citizens. Our classroom should be a
safe, non-threatening
learning environment where each class member is respected. I hope that
students will read to learn as
they become better readers and write to communicate and entertain.
