=__Welcome to the 2011-2012 5th Grade School Year-Michael Nash, Science Instructor __= = = ===This will mark the 5th year that I will be teaching 5th grade at McGowen Elementary. The year we opened McGowen I migrated from McNeil with many of the 4th graders I taught at McNeil. I have been teaching for 13 years, 11 of the years in Texas. I have enjoyed my time at McGowen and have had the privilege of motivating and challenging some of McKinney's finest students. I have had the privilege to be around long enough at McNeil and McGowen to have watched Kindergarteners mature into 5th graders as well as 5th graders who are now in High School. === ===I have been married 16 years, have 2 children attending McGowen, and my wife Dallena is a teacher as well. We do live in McKinney and can often be seen dining around some of McKinney's most economical dining establishments. I spend much of my spare time riding around McKinney in my 1979 Jeep CJ7, love going to the movies and am involved in a local church. I also announce Varsity Boys and Girls basketball at McKinney North. The season starts mid-November so come on out and watch. ===

===I pledge to do my best to make this the best teaching year of my life and hope to make this an exciting place for all of my students as we learn and grow together. Get ready for Camp Grady Spruce.....it's coming up! ===
