By: BHS Staff Profiles
January 19, 2024

Chosen for this week’s Staff Spotlight is Mrs. Ann Marie Yarman. This is currently year 27 for her in education. Mrs. Yarman has never worked outside of Brooklyn. In her free time, she enjoys reading, creating 3D printings, and traveling. A fun fact about her is that she has four older brothers and no sisters.
Q: What do you like to see every day when you come to work?
A: “Students’ smiling faces!”
Q: What is the most inspirational advice someone has ever told you about teaching?
A: “Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.”
Q: What is one positive aspect about teaching younger students as opposed to older students?
A: “Fifth graders like to ask questions and participate.”
Q: How do you keep yourself organized?
A: “I try to have my materials in a bin for each day of the week. So, I have a week ready to go when I leave on Friday.”
Q: What do you think is the best season?
A: “Autumn because I love apple cider, football games, and cool crisp days.”
Q: What Disney character do you resemble?
A: “I suppose Belle. I like to read, and I grew up in a small town. I also relate to her strong personality and strength.”
Q: What is your favorite animal?
A: “A cat. I think a cat in a good home has the best life. Sleep all day, get fed, and get attention when they want it.”
Q: Have you ever traveled?
A: “Yes! I love going on cruise ships. I have traveled to Europe, Puerto Rico, Spain, England, the Caribbean, and Alaska. I love experiencing new food, landmarks, and how others live their lives.”
Mrs. Yarman, just like your husband from last week’s spotlight, thank you for all that you do for students. Brooklyn is blessed to have you. Enjoy the rest of the school year. In the meantime, stay warm!

We are so lucky to have teachers with the dedication to education and love for students that Mrs. Yarman has!
