Spotlight on Ms. Beddes

Submitted by tiffanie.miley on

It’s a new school year, and Springville Junior High School has opened its doors to a few new teachers. One of those new teachers is Ms. Kiera Beddes.  She is teaching five periods of eighth-grade English and one period of seventh-grade Utah Studies. According to Ms. Beddes, she wanted to teach Utah Studies and English because she felt that English and History both help to tell the story better. Ms. Beddes said, “With History, it is the story of what happened, and what people believed, and felt. English is how you tell the story, the images that people used to tell of what happened by the words they left behind.”

Ms. Beddes went to BYU in Provo, and got a major in history and a minor in English and Scandinavian Studies.  Ms. Beddes said, “I always liked to learn, and liked teaching because you are constantly learning.”

Rosa Gashler, an eighth grader at SJHS, said, “I like her class, it’s not stressful.  It is actually quite relaxing. And she is nice. She’s a good teacher because she helps understand things better and clearly.” 
Ms. Beddes is also enjoying her time with the students at SJHS.
