Lisa Siegel, Hoover Middle School Physical Education Teacher

Physical Education Teacher Lisa Siegel is a positive force at Hoover Middle School! Colleagues around the building used the following words to describe her: fun, fair, headstrong, enthusiastic, and full of life. Her work as chairperson of the Wellness Committee has been inspirational to all staff and students, especially this year when our emotional well-being has been so important to maintain. Lisa has been producing weekly wellness videos for the HMS announcements since March of 2020, and also hosts a Weekly Sports Update, in which she includes news about things like Nascar, World Soccer, Major League Baseball and Buffalo Bills season updates, complete with catchy background music. She even arranged for former Buffalo Bills player Mark Maddox to make a guest video appearance during this year's football season. Staff members have commented that her fitness videos are "amazing, so funny, and we are sure they take a lot of work"! Lisa inspires us all, for example, many of us have walked more steps and held the "plank" position for more seconds than we would have EVER thought possible due to her encouragement for the monthly wellness challenges. She has been a difference maker with her positive attitude as well as giving tips on healthy activities, foods, and talking up the local sports! Lisa also serves as the Kenmore West Boys Tennis Coach and Hoover Middle Running Club Coach. Congratulations, Ms. Siegel!
