My name is Ruth Evans and this is my 10th year teaching in Baltimore County Public Schools. For the past three years I have worked at Watershed Public Charter School, in Windsor Mill, MD teaching 3rd grade. Our school features a multi-disciplinary, hands-on approach to learning with a concentration on outdoor learning and the environment. I find that it fufills my need to take greater action to protect and appreciate the environment, and pass the love of the outdoors to students. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking at local parks and nature photography.
