Bio

Hello everyone :) My name is Mendy Tubbs and this marks my 21 years of being a teacher- time flies by when you are having fun!! I taught biology, ap biology, and physical science for 17 years and 7th grade science at SMS for 3 years. I have a background in biology and chemistry and have a passion for teaching science. I love the moments in class when my students are having as much fun as I am! And if they aren't, I'm going to do my best to make sure they get there!

My husband and I have a big family, with 4 children and 4 dogs- we stay busy busy busy! There is never a dull moment in our home. Throughout the year, you will see and hear about the adventures of my family and fur babies :)

I look forward to meeting all of you and your families. I will keep you posted on important dates such as- Meet the Teacher Night. Again, I look forward to our year together- it's going to be awesome!
