2019-2020 Canton Elementary Phys Ed

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! I'm looking forward to meeting your kiddos! PE will be their FAVORITE class, at least that's my goal each year...As I get to know your little ones throughout the year, here's a little about myself, so you can get to know me as well:

 

My name is Ashley Herchman, I've been at CES teaching PE going on 11 years. I'm married to Trent Herchman and he and I have three boys! Creede, our oldest is 15 and a sophomore this year at CHS, Cole Spencer, 13, is an 8th grader at CJH, and Cap, our youngest is 6 and in the first grade here at CES! I went to Tarleton State University and graduated with a degree in Exercise Sports Studies with a minor in Business Administration. I graduated from TSU in May of 2001. I was certified in EC-12 Physical Education shortly after that. I taught and coached at the junior high and high school levels and taught PE and Special Education for the first four years of my career. When our first son was born, I stayed home with him for 5 years until he began Kindergarten. That's when I was blessed to start work here at CES in 2009! Since then, in 2015 & 2016 I graduated from Dallas Baptist University with a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. I also got certified to teach EC-12 Special Education and have my Principal certification. It was tough, I'm glad I did it, but I've found more joy teaching K-2nd PE then I could ever have imagined, so I'm sticking around! 

 

I'm excited to get this year started and getting to know all my new Kinder's and get reacquainted with my returning 1st and 2nd grade students! I enjoy the challenge of learning each student's name, and glad to have a knack for it because I will have your child every day in PE for 45 minutes! That's just one of the many reasons Canton Elementary School is the best!
