Hello, I'm Leslie Stark.  I teach 7^th grade English, and I also coach.  This year I will be coaching 7^th grade volleyball, high school basketball, and middle school track.

It's very hard to believe, but I'm beginning my 17th year of teaching/coaching.  I have been married to my husband Lance for 14 years.  We have three children:  Houston 12, Natalie 8, and Charlie 4.  Houston is in 7^th grade this year,  Natalie is a 2^nd grader here at Idalou Elementary, and Charlie is beggining pre-k this year.  I am so happy to have all of my kiddos here with me.

In my free time I enjoy speding time with my family, cooking, and baking.  We also watch a lot of basketball at my house and are huge Kansas Jayhawk fans!!!  Rock Chalk!  Both Houston and Natalie enjoy playing basketball, and I hope Charlie will follow in their footsteps.  I played college basketball, so it’s very exciting to watch my children perform the sport I love.  

I love teaching junior high!!!  Let’s get this party started!!!
