Who I am
Hello everyone! I am Mrs. Banach, I am the mother of 2, Paul is 21 and is a passionate musician and Celine is a senior in H.S.
I love teaching sports and fitness to others in hope that they find a sport(s) or activities they enjoy for a lifetime.
I love all sorts of sports, but soccer is my passion. In the summer, I enjoy yoga, hiking, cycling, running, rock-climbing and gardening. This summer, I learned to paddle-board and it is now my only favorite water activity.
In the winter, I practice martial arts, yoga, and skiing. I also enjoy reading about health, fitness and nutrition. I believe that life is all about learning, I can not recall who said, "if I ever stop learning, I might as well stop breathing" this is something that I like to instill in my students, to always keep learning, in and out of school.
