Spotlight: Ms. Fausett

“She explains things really well. She’s fun, and has a good sense of humor,” said Emily Mason, an eighth-grade student at SJHS, when asked about Ms. Fausett, the new Foods teacher at SJHS. Ms. Fausett started out as a sub for Mrs. Luke while she was on maternity leave, but she is now teaching the morning Foods classes.  We are lucky to have her because Ms. Fausett is well trained and well prepared for this position.

Ms. Fausett graduated from Brigham Young University in April 2012 after attending there for five years.  She studied Family and Consumer Science education (FACS for short). Ms. Fausett has been at the junior high since October, when Mrs. Luke had her baby. Some things about her is that she would love to teach in the future. She would also like to travel more. She  helped students at BYU for four years in cooking, and realized that she wanted to teach for good. According to Ms. Fausett the oddest thing according to her that she has heard students do, was use salt in their chocolate chip cookies instead of sugar.

What makes a great cook successful according to Ms. Fausett,  it takes practice, and dedication to learning it. So, If students are taking the class, or have it in the future, do not panic. Ms. Fausett is there to help.
