Meet the Falcon Teachers
🗺️ Mr. Bell 🗺️
- This is my 26th year teaching at Seneca Valley.

🔢 Mrs. Belt 🔢

- I still look forward to teaching daily math concepts and seeing the growth my students have at the end of the year. It takes hard work and grit, but they can do it!
- I live in Callery with my husband, Mike, our two sons, Parker and Ryder, our crazy dogs, Sofie and Baily, and our cat, Bandit.
- My favorite season is summer when I am outdoors hiking and biking, playing hockey, ice skating, watching sports, or just sitting back and relaxing with my family.
- To reward myself after a long day, you will find me indulging in chocolate or ice cream!

🩻 Mr. Flood 🩻

📝 Ms. Strieby 📝
