Mrs. Van Ryn

Hello! My name is Kristi Van Ryn, and I am excited to work with your children this year in the Gym at Eberwhite as their Physical Education teacher! I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education from Calvin University and a Master of Science in Health and Exercise Studies from Miami University in Ohio. 

I have been teaching Physical Education at Eberwhite since 2005. Before Eberwhite, I taught High School Health at Huron and Pioneer and was one of the track and cross country coaches.  I am also certified as a Group Fitness Instructor.

In Physical Education, I will be working to encourage healthy habits to teach students that movement is fun.  The goal is for our students to be confident and creative movers and to choose to be active for a lifetime! It is my expectation that students will learn to become physically fit, develop character, learn skills and become knowledgeable about health and wellness. The goal is to have fun, stay moving and learn at the same time. 

In addition to my professional responsibilities, I am married to my husband, Jason, and we have two children- one boy and one girl. As a family, we enjoy traveling, hiking and playing golf together.
