Hello Plato Academy Trinity Giants! My name is Ms. Kathan, but you can call me Ms. K, or Coach K!
This year will be my fifth year here at Plato Academy, and also my fifth year of teaching! I am an avid athlete and enjoy many and most all sports! I was lucky enough to win championship titles in Soccer, Snowboarding, and Golf while in High School, and was even able to play Women's Soccer at Keene State College and earn another Championship title there! I am very passionate about sports and physical activity, and I love to learn more and play more through this incredible career of Physical Education.
I recently finished my Master's Degree in Health Education, and will be using my degree to teach 6th grade Health to our students. Additionally, I will be taking on the role of the Plato Academy PE Mentor for all 9 of our Plato campus schools, and I am excited for this new position and contribute to our schools.
I am so excited to welcome our old and new students, and to conduct a wonderful education program for lifelong active learners! Through the year I am hoping to engage students in new sports and activities, give them a new outlook on fun and fitness, and create passion in all students to learn how to love and live healthy and happily!

My Personal Mission Statement:
My P.E. program hopes to build a bright and physically active future for all of our students. This program helps students understand the skills and mechanics necessary to participate in various activities safely, confidently, and graciously. The vision that we give to our students is to find a passion for physical activities so that they can keep their bodies, minds, and hearts happy and healthy both inside and outside of our school walls. We hope to broaden the pathways of thinking and moving, and allow each child to engage in activities that benefit their social and personal behaviors, skill abilities, cognitive understanding, and health fitness. My mission is to teach with a philosophy dedicated to educating students in mind, body, and spirit for lifelong healthy, happy, and passionate futures. |
