Friday Five – Miss Raina Norman

Throughout the year, we will highlight one of our teachers or staff members in what has been deemed the “Friday Five.” These features will be published on Fridays and will include a brief summary about the teacher or staff member followed by five fun things that others may not know. This week’s Friday Five comes from our Middle School History and Science Teacher Miss. Raina Norman.

Norman joined Twin Oaks Christian School last year as the part-time Middle School science teacher. During that time, Norman built strong connections with her students and inspired a greater understanding and appreciation for science. Now she serves as the history and science teacher for the TOCS middle school program.

Norman graduated in 2018 from the University of Missouri – St. Louis with a psychology degree and recently earned her Master of Arts in teaching general science in Grades 5-9.

Five Unique Things about Miss Norman:

1. I am the oldest of seven children (Family picture from my sister Emma’s wedding this past July)
2. I have a hidden passion for acting/musical theater
3. I am OBSESSED with ‘The Parent Trap’ (1998 version). It always has been and likely always will be my favorite movie. It even inspired my Bachelor’s degree graduation cap.
4. My favorite place in the world is France! I visited France the summer after graduating High School and completely fell in love.
5. I enjoy making clay jewelry for my small business ‘Morning Grace Company’.
