Mrs. HinrichsA part of the Colfax teaching family since 1993, Mrs. Hinrichs obtained her BA in Liberal Arts from California State University Sacramento. She has a Multiple Subject teaching credential from CSUS with a supplementary in English, and a CLAD (Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development Certificate).
A lover of the outdoors, Mrs. Hinrichs enjoys hiking, camping, water-skiing, snowboard/skiing, golf, and fly-fishing. Her family consists of four children, Michael, Cathy, Matthew, and Hanna; her wonderful husband, Mike; and the family labrador, Sierra. On May 7th, 2016, The Hinrichs Family added Dan Stephens to the mix when he married their daughter, Cathy. Since the Hinrichs Family likes to travel, they have been to most Western National Parks, Hawaii (5 times), Ireland, Italy, Canada, Switzerland, France, and too many US states to mention. A sports enthusiast, her favorite teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers; the Boston Redsoxs, the Colfax Bulldogs and the CHS Falcons. Reading, writing, running, volleyball, tennis, 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 Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. If you are looking reading suggestions, Mrs. Hinrichs has a gazillion suggestions. If you want to put her 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 |
