Colleen Ryan, Bournedale 2nd grade teacher

Ms. Ryan was born in May and her hometown is Sandwich, MA.  She went to college at Roger Williams University! Go Hawks!
Favorite teacher? Mrs. Anderson (elementary), Ms. Galvin (high school) and Dr. Canestrari (College). There’s a quote that says, “If you see a turtle on a fencepost, he probably had some help getting up there.” I guess that kind of sums it up.
If you were not in education, what other profession would you like to attempt? My biggest regret of all time is that I didn’t take the same path that Guy Fieri did…
Do you have pets? Well, I had a goldfish named Jaws that I bought when I was in college and he lived to be 7. I was pretty proud of that little guy, 7 is a long time for a 19 cent goldfish! Now I am obsessed with my sister’s dog Quigley who is an Irish Doodle!
Favorite color? Pink
Favorite Quote or Saying? “We all have meanness in us, but we have good in us too and the only thing worth living for is the good and that why we have to be sure to pass it on.”
Where is the farthest place you have ever traveled? I lived in Edinburgh, Scotland with my college roommates for about 5 months that was awesome!
Favorite Food? Cheese!
Hobbies or Activities/Organizations you are active in? I love to ski and bike! I travel back and forth to Nashville often. I love to cook. I also find it very therapeutic to make posters for my classroom!
