At one point in teacher Scott Noteboom\u2019s day he\u2019s working with second graders. Then, at another time, he\u2019s teaching high school seniors. Noteboom enjoys the variety, but he also loves the opportunity to connect with so many different students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Role<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a teacher in the district\u2019s parent partnership Lynden Academy, Noteboom understands flexibility. From teaching high school language arts to physical education and drawing for second through fifth graders, he\u2019s connecting with a range of Lynden students. Noteboom also assists with the administrative side of Lynden Academy, helping track and evaluate academic progress and requirements. \u201cBasically, anything my principal needs me to do, I do,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best part of my job is working with such a wide variety of kids,\u201d he says. \u201cOne universal element is that when you commit fully to each group of kids, you receive it back tenfold. I\u2019m sure any teacher or coach will agree that the satisfaction you get from teaching and coaching our kids brings about a sense of joy that is really hard to put into words. Saying I absolutely love this work would be a giant understatement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noteboom continues his student-based connections most days of the year by also coaching at Lynden High School. In the fall he assists the varsity football program and in the spring the track and field athletes. \u201cThis is a great opportunity to get outside and run out all that pent up energy,\u201d he says, \u201cand an opportunity to connect with a different set of students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being part of Lynden Schools gives Noteboom the opportunity for \u201cstrong mentorship, partnership and professional examples\u201d everywhere he goes. \u201cI\u2019ve had the privilege of working underneath and alongside the very best our state has to offer,\u201d he says. \u201cIt would be impossible to quantify the knowledge and practice I\u2019ve gathered from my mentors and colleagues. Our community is truly unique and very exceptional that way.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of community, Noteboom says it\u2019s an honor to pour back into a community he grew up in. \u201cTo stop,\u2019 he says, \u201cand really think about that is enough to bring a guy to tears.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to Know Scott<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noteboom enjoys so much of what his life in Lynden offers. From walking his dog to skipping rocks on a river or reading, writing and working in his yard, Noteboom says he values the simple pleasures, the quiet solitude and the laughs with close friends. Of course, he enjoys occasionally wandering Mexico with his \u201cbetter half,\u201d finding adventures along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what he finds himself doing most when away from school is drawing. \u201cI do it every day,\u201d he says, \u201cand keep it as my intrinsic reward for getting my daily tasks completed.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying connected to the community happens naturally for Noteboom, who has an extensive root system in the community. And as he starts to teach and coach a new generation of students\u2014the children of those he went to school with\u2014he not only gets reminded of his growing age, but of the opportunity to appreciate Lynden and the range of students he connects with daily. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
