Wechta named Tribe Member of the Week

Bellefontaine City Schools is proud to announce its Thursday Tribe Member of the Week.

Heather Wechta is this week’s recipient.

Title: Bellefontaine Elementary School First Grade Teacher

Years of experience: 17 years

Why you love being a Chieftain: I love being a Chieftain because BCS feels like home. Many of my co-workers have become friends, I live here in Bellefontaine, and both of my children are Chieftains, too!

Classroom motto or quote to live by: “Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” – Paulo Coelho

What you love doing outside of school: READING! I’m a true bookworm and love spending hours stuck in a good book. I also love being with my family, hiking, am passionate about nature, and can’t get enough time treasure hunting within the aisles of a well-stocked antique shop!
