Hello! My name is Monica Balash (Suding). This is my first year teaching at Sunman Elementary, although I have five and a half years of experience teaching in Avon Community Schools. I graduated from East Central High School in 2006 and then from Indiana University Purdue University- Indianapolis (IUPUI) in 2010, where I also played Division I volleyball for the Jaguars. I am married to my wonderful husband Bryant, and we have three girls. Our twins, Abigail and Madelyn, are three years old, and Olivia will turn one in October. When I'm not spending time with family or at work, I enjoy running and crafting of any kind. I´m looking forward to a wonderful year in Second Grade! Fun Fact: This is the same classroom that I attended when I was in Second Grade! The school year was 1997-1998, and my teacher was Mrs. Stutler. ?
