Monica Adair

• Bachelor of Arts; English: Western Washington University
• Master of Arts Teaching with Cert.: City University

Mrs. Adair grew up in Redmond and attended Lake Washington Schools: Dickinson, Alcott, Evergreen, and Eastlake.  Her favorite elementary school memory was outdoor education at Camp Orkila.  They did a ropes course that was scary.  When she finally completed it, it was a great accomplishment.
Her favorite teacher was Mr. Plughoff for Senior English.  He was very witty and funny, plus he yelled and sat on the desks!  His students considered him a very cool guy!

Mrs. Adair has been on Bell staff since 2007 and loves the awesome teachers!  People here work so hard and are always willing to do whatever it takes for the students to succeed.  That is hard to find.

She has been married to Jeff for four years. They live in Snoqualmie WA and have two cats, Ernie and Amos. Hiking the mountains in and around Snoqualmie and North Bend and playing Frisbee with Jeff are favorite pasttimes. She loves to read kid's books.  Spending time with friends and family, playing sports, and travel are also favorites activities (she's been to India, Nepal, Spain, Jordan, Israel, Syria, Egypt, Hawaii, Mexico and lots of places in the US).
She admires Mother Teresa who had something figured out that she would love to understand.
