Welcome to Woodland Middle School.  My name is Mattie Jorgensen, and this is my third year teaching at Woodland.  After teaching 2nd grade for 12 years, I knew I was ready for a new challenge and change in my teaching career.  I was pleasantly pleased to be offered a job at Woodland to teach 6th grade Language Arts.  I am passionate about working with our youth to inspire and support them in becoming lifelong learners.

Outside of school, I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my family and friends.  We live in a beautiful area that has so much to offer.  One of my favorite activities is hiking.  I love the challenge of making it to the top of a mountain and experiencing the serenity of being out in nature.  

One of my future goals is to travel and volunteer around the world.  I have a passion for community building and culture.  My heart has always been pulled to help others.  There is a certain sense of fulfillment that comes from giving all that I have to offer, and at the same time, gaining insight and knowledge from the people I meet along the way.
