Hello!! 

I will be teaching 8th Grade Science again this year. Education is my second career following 22 years of active duty in the US Air Force. I hope to inspire intellectual curiosity in my students and relate scientific principles to their everyday lives. I am here to help my students in any way that I can. I look forward to a great year!
 
A little background about myself...I received my Bachelor's Degree in Geography from the US Air Force Academy. GO FALCONS!! I earned a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and earned a second Master’s in Military Operational Art & Science at Air University. This is my 8th year in the district. While working on my teaching credential, I was a substitute teacher in D38, volunteered in the LPMS library, and coached LPMS wrestling. I’ve been married nearly 25 years to Dee. We have a daughter at Texas Tech University, a son at LPHS, and a dog always waiting to go on a hike.

I am honored to be on staff at Lewis-Palmer Middle School. What happens in my classroom will affect your child's future. I take that fact seriously when it comes to academics and socialization during these crucial middle school years. Our time together will be well spent and every minute will count! So, I expect full participation from students in the classroom, on homework, and during assessments. This will be my 8^th year coaching wrestling and my 6th year helping with other sports. My goal in the classroom, on the mat, and on the field is for students to work hard AND enjoy it. With your help, we can make it happen.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me through:

• Sending a written note to class with your student

Tim Bergmann
