What's MY super power?

Hi! My name is Mrs. Amanda Bolin Varney. I went to Manchester Elementary and graduated from Clay County High School in 2000. I graduated from Eastern Kentucky University in 2005 and worked in the Madison County School system for three years. In 2008, I moved to sunny Brasilia, Brazil (yes! South America!) for the "adventure" of my life! I worked in an American christian school in the capital city. I taught and made friends with people from Kuwait, South Africa, Namibia, Panama, Great Britian, and many more countries during my four year venture there! God lead me to Brazil and in 2012, He had something else for me! I came home, got married, and landed a teaching position at Hacker Elementary! I taught a 1st and 2nd grade split for 1 1/2 years before coming to you this year! I am VERY excited to be a Bobcat and to begin this "super" adventure with you! I will be posting the newsletter and any other important documents here each week just in case your little superheroes lose their stuff while saving our vast community!
So-what IS my superpower?

First and foremost-I am here because of the sweet grace of Jesus. He is the only reason I am alive and has worked all things in my life for my good (the good and the bad!) I love serving Him and serving people! He is all the good that is within me!

I love teaching-it's the only thing I've ever wanted to do. I strive to make learning fun and challenging.

My husband works for Operation Unite-so we are constantly working with drug addicts, recovering addicts, and learning about new drugs and trends. We are committed to helping communities get help with the drug epidemic.

I also love doing community service, being with families, and doing fun things with children/youth outside of school! I like when the concept of community spills over past the end of the school day! I look forward to getting to know your family and the community!

This is our third year coaching Upward Soccer as well as working with Unite in their "Hooked on Fishing Not on Drugs" program in Laurel County and our second year helping with the Jeff Shepherd "Shoot Hoops Not Drugs" basketball camps.
