Old Town Star Staff News
Aug. 31- Sept. 11
Our Star Staff Member of the Week Is...
Name: Jeanette Pratz
Current Gig: Adapted p.e. Teacher for 8 schools.
One word to describe yourself and why: Positive. I always have a positive spin on the adventures I am involved in or hear about. This makes me happy and glad to be a teacher, interacting with the "millions" of humans, I see. I am positive that we can all learn daily. I am also positive that you will Love Old Town.
Personal life: Iam married to the wonderful Mark Pratz. Semi- retired principal from RRISD, whom only had "positive" things to say about you. We live in taylor. Our house is over 100 years old and we love it (most days). Our dog is 15 years old and we are concerned about her health.
Favorite hobbies away from school:cooking, eating, gardening, fishing, yard work and every teachers favorite "traveling".
Why did you open this can of worms?
If I wasn't at Old Town, I'd...: Be volunteering in a special unit classroom, increasing the amount of time with my hobbies and hopefully working a part time job that would pay enough that I would only have to work part time.....
