BHRA is excited to welcome our new Agriculture Teacher / FFA Advisor, Miss Mallory Ames!
Hi everyone! My name is Ms. Ames and I graduated from the University of Illinois this Spring with a dual degree in Agriculture Education and Agriculture Business. I was a proud member of the Sigma Alpha agricultural sorority on campus. I am originally from Saint Joseph, Illinois and a graduate of SJOHS. I have been student teaching this past semester at Neoga Jr.-Sr. High School. I have a miniature dachshund named Renley that is my pride and joy! I love basketball and baseball and spend a lot of my free time reffing high school volleyball and umpiring high school and travel softball. Though controversial, I bleed orange and blue and am a devoted Illinois basketball and St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan! I LOVE BeReal, I am a big foodie, and have a very outgoing and goofy personality. I am looking forward to becoming a Blue Devil and most excited to teach Ag Science and Natural Resources.
Please give a big welcome to Ms. Ames! If you'd like to help her with her classroom, you can find her Amazon wish list here: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/19MRBMN0URUTR
