Mrs. HinrichsA part of the Colfax teaching family since 1993, Mrs. Hinrichs obtained her BA in Liberal Arts from California State University Sacramento. She earned her Multiple Subject teaching credential from CSUS with a supplementary in English, and a CLAD (Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development Certificate).
Her family consists of her husband, Mike; their four children Michael, Cathy, Matthew, Hanna; and the family labrador, Sierra. A gypsy at heart, Mrs. Hinrichs has visited most of the National Parks in the Western U.S. (her favorite is Olympic in Washington). Her love for the open road has taken her to more than 20 states (her favorite city - Nashville). Her curiosity has taken her over the Pacific to each of the Hawaiian Islands (her favorite is Kauai). Across the Atlantic, Mrs. Hinrichs has explored England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, and France - each one she would gladly return to in a heartbeat. Spain and Italy in 2019 is her next adventure. Mrs. Hinrichs enjoys anything outdoors, but mostly hiking, camping, water-skiing, snowboard/skiing, vball, and fly-fishing. Her favorite sports teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers; the Boston Redsoxs, the Colfax Bulldogs and the CHS Falcons. Reading, writing, music, running, cooking and all things Celtic are her hobbies. Her favorite, all time book is Where the Red Fern Grows, but she loves medieval fantasy as a genre and suggests everyone read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss OR the historical fiction novel, Losing Julia , by Jonathon Hull. Looking for reading suggestions? Mrs. Hinrichs has a gazillion recommendations. If you want to put Mrs. H in a good mood, come to school ready to discover new ideas, put "I can" into your vocabulary, take "boring" out, and if all else fails, bring in a smile - it will brighten up the day. A favorite quote: "Through fire the spirit is forged." Katherine Paterson - Sign of the Chrysanthemum
