About+Me

Hello!

My name is Alice Stoneback and I am the French teacher at Manitou Springs High School. My passion for the French language and culture was ignited by my grandmother. She was a French native who married an American soldier after World War II and then moved to the United States. I still have a lot of relatives in France with whom I keep in contact and love to visit when I can!

I also coach cheerleading at Manitou. I started as a volunteer in 2004, and have been working with the team ever since. I love coaching! It provides opportunities to build relationships with students outside of the classroom and help them develop life skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership. To learn more about cheerleading at Manitou, please visit our website at [|www.manitoucheer.com].

I am one of the Student Council advisers as well. This activity gives students an opportunity to share ideas and make decisions about activities that will appeal to the peers. They are the leaders of their school who serve their student body by working to plan, promote, and carry out a wide variety of activities including Homecoming Week, dances, a dodge ball tournament, and the Drive Smart campaign.
