Doron Gringorten - PE Specialist

I come from Toronto, Canada, where I have been teaching since 2000.  I graduated university with an honors degree in sociology and then received additional certification in radio broadcasting.  I spent 3 years working as a “reporter” in the sports department of a very popular news station and traveled throughout Canada and the U.S. reporting on various sporting events. I became interested in teaching after spending one year in Korea as an English teacher.  I returned home and went back to school to receive my teaching qualifications.  For 9 years, I taught a grade 8 homeroom, which included Math, English, History, Geography, Drama and, of course, PE. This is my second year as a PE teacher at SSIS and I am enjoying this experience very much.  I am here with my wife Hilary, and my two children, Jacob and Sydney.
