Hi. It's me. Mr. Batchelor. I have grown up in the suburbs of St. Louis my whole life. Naturally I am a fan of all things St. Louis sports. My favorite activity is going to the movies. I love movies more than anything. I often spend my free time watching and writing about movies. If I am not movie watching, I am gaming. I play just about everything but mainly focus on single player story driven games. 

It took me many years to get to this position of life. I worked in shipping and receiving for a long time before realizing that I wanted a career that was more fulfilling. After returning to school, getting my Masters in Education and working a year as a substitute, I am living the dream. 

This year is going to be fun! I love playing games and doing fun activities. While we will be reading and writing at a high level, we will also have enriching activities to help guide your education. Trust me when I say I am here for you. Your education is important, but you are more important.
