The Motives of Ms. Motiff

Ms. Heidi Motiff is new to Messmer this year. She teaches Freshman Science and Physics. Messmer is not her first teaching job. She says one of her biggest teaching challenges is that,  "In the United States many students don't seem realize what a privilege an education is. Many other countries don't provide that opportunity to everyone.  If all students realized the awesome opportunities they have in front of them, they may take their education a little bit more seriously." When asked how she likes Messmer so far she said, "It's not just like, it's love. There is such a friendly, caring feeling in this building, which is a product of the kindness of the staff and students.  Students understand they are here so that they can be set up for success in their future and the staff all work towards making that happen. Messmer lunches are pretty yummy too." 
An interesting fact about Ms. Motiff is that she is in three Fantasy Football leagues.  She doesn’t really have spare time but when she does she likes to hang out with her friends and family, and following the Packers and the Brewers. She considers herself a super fan. She says,  "Once I even wrote a referral for a student because he was a Bear's fan." She also loves her puppy which was rescued from the side of the road by her brother in North Carolina and "is the cutest, sweetest pup you will ever meet." Ms. Motiff also love Skittles. Let's make her feel welcome!
