My name is Suzy Fuentes (formally Ms. Ruckel), and I am one of the Physical Education teachers at South Pointe Middle School where I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.
I am also South Pointe's Athletic Director and
coach many different sports throughout the year.
My Road to PE:
I was a very active child/teen, but wasn't always the best athlete. It wasn't until my middle school PE teacher helped to connect my interest in sports with my ability to perform well. So I know all about not being able to achieve physical success in PE, therefore it is my goal to teach a base level of understanding with each sport and fitness area. Once my students know and understand the basics of each sport/fitness technique then I can become a vessel to channel my students' needs into whatever area they are succeeding or interested in.
Get to know me and why I decided to become a teacher.
