Mr. Manders I graduated from UBCO in 2012 with a B. Ed. I was granted my Master's in Educational Leadership and Administration (M.Ed.) in 2019. I am happily married with three children. I have a Border Collie X Australian Shepard When I'm not teaching I like to get up at 5:30 to row on the calm waters of Okanagan Lake, ride my mountain bike in Rose Valley Regional Park or Smith Creek. In the winter I enjoy skate skiing at Telemark Cross Country Ski Club. My favourite type of reading is Historical Fiction, Kids Lit and Philosophy. I'm sure I have yet to read my favourite book; however, this summer I did enjoy Richard Wagamese's Ragged Company and Eric Walters' Alexandria of Africa My favourite movie changes all the time. I play the guitar (or pretend to) and love to sing. I also play the saxophone.
