BCSD Certified Employee of the Month for May

According to Gary Pflueger, principal at Valley View Elementary School, the best teacher is one who epitomizes “Life-long Learning” and lives as a positive example to emulate. Mr. John Beck is such a teacher! John began his teaching career at Kyrene School District in Tempe, Arizona, where he taught Physical Education, Health, and Science. In 1990, he accepted a teaching position in Boundary County. "Our students have enjoyed this physical education teacher and leader for 24 years of his 31 year career, and the ball is still rolling," said principal Pflueger.

One of John’s favorite sayings with the students is, “Our bodies are made to move, so let’s get moving!” John truly enjoys watching the kids have fun while they are in motion. The hardest part is motivating all students to move beyond their comfort zone.

John Beck, a graduate of Northern Arizona University, is married to another teacher, Doreen Beck, who is an excellent teacher in her own right.
