Employee of the Month for April
After high school, Mrs. Wages started her college career like many other students from BFHS. She attended North Idaho College and the University of Idaho for a
couple of years. From there she attended the
University of Washington in Seattle, where she
earned her Bachelor’s degree, teaching
certificate, and Master’s degree.Mrs. Wages had the privilege of being a Lab Assistant for a Human Anatomy class while in college at the University of Idaho. It was in that lab she discovered her love of teaching. She began teaching in the Seattle area in 1991. She taught there for 3 years, then returned to Bonners Ferry to teach biology at Rocky Mountain Academy. In 1997 she started teaching at Bonners Ferry High School.
Mrs. Wages says her family is wonderful! Many of her immediate family and her husband’s family live right here in Bonners Ferry. Her husband is a builder and she is blessed with two daughters, Belle and Lauren. Belle attends the University of Idaho, and Lauren will be a junior at BFHS next fall. In her spare time, Mrs. Wages enjoys traveling, reading, music, cooking and being with her family.
There are two things Mrs. Wages would like to advise her students. The first is to not be afraid of working hard in all that you do. Second, be very careful in your decision making, and keep your options open. Many people make decisions that close future doors--doors they may not even realize exist.
Bonners Ferry High School is proud to have such a dedicated science teacher. Always remember: SCIENCE ROCKS!
