Please help Norwich Middle School welcome Mrs. Inez Moutarde as our At Risk Coordinator. Please see the message from Mrs. Moutarde:
"I am so excited to come on board in this role as I spent my teen years growing up in Chenango County. I have spent nearly two decades living abroad in various countries. I had the opportunity to live and work in cultures much different than our own empowering teens. I love helping others change up mindset and habits to move towards their highest potential.
I love love love personal development and a more holistic approach to life. In addition to a Health/Wellness Degree from Buffalo State College, I am a Certified Health Coach, Certified Life Coach and a Quantum Flow Practioner.
I am also a Combat Veteran, having served in the Army Reserves and deployed on operations to Bosnia and Iraq, for which I was both honored and humbled to be awarded the Bronze Star
Outside of school, my interests include social media - content creation fascinates me, writing and being outdoors. You can find me out hiking the Chenango Greenway or visiting the nearby New York State Parks.
I am looking forward to working with students to help create their own positive goals based on the vision they have for themselves on their journey through Middle School."
