The student that deserves your love the least, needs it the most!!
ABOUT ME:
Hello! I am Ronnie Sims and I have worked for Scottsbluff Public Schools for 6 years now. I am a 4th Grade teacher at Longfellow Elementary and also run the Longfellow Elementary Boy's Club. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice at Chadron State College and then decided to have a change in major. I changed my major to teaching and received my Teaching Certificate/Master's Degree at Grand Canyon University in Arizona. I have now lived in Scottsbluff for about 18 years. My wife Jenna is a RN at Regional West Medical Center and we have two children, Grayson (6) and Nora (3). I enjoy all outdoor activities, reading, and playing my guitar. Most of all, I really love kids, and teaching is what I was meant to do!! Unless you ask my teachers when I was growing up.
