Enough about me, go on and explore the wonders of the website my staff and I worked so hard on to create.” -Ally Metzler

Adviser- Our adviser for the Timberline Paw Print is the wonderful Mrs. Jones! She runs our newspaper and extensively helps all of us with our content. She is here to make sure our platform is professional, entertaining, and unbiased. 

“Hello to all! I’m very excited to be starting my 3rd year as the Timberline Newspaper Adviser. This is my 12th year teaching High School English, and my 4th year at Timberline High School. I’m originally from Fresno, Ca. where I graduated with honors in 2009 with a dual major in Liberal Studies and Theatre Arts: Dance Emphasis. I hold an Idaho Certification for English and PE. I enjoy teaching Newspaper/Journalism and am happy to bring it back after a hectic COVID year. I also teach AP Language, Junior English, and I’m the Head Cheer Coach here at Timberline. I have been coaching cheerleading for 23 years. I ran an All-Star Cheer and Dance studio for 10 years, before I finished college and started teaching. (It was a family business and I started young, coaching various schools at 14). I believe my coaching experience has enhanced my teaching and helped me to relate to my students in an encouraging manner.

I have been married for 6 years to my husband, Andrew, and I’m the proud mother of 2 AMAZING little boys: Eli (4) and Toby (2). We will be expecting our third and final child in January- Tabitha. Of all the accomplishments in my life, I believe becoming a mother has been the greatest one. It has improved my level of empathy and compassion for my students and helped me to strengthen my teaching in the classroom.

I hope you enjoy all of the content our AMAZING News Staff has to offer. We are so excited to launch our new platform this year, as we bid farewell to our old printed platform of “TimberLines” and hello to the new digital “Timberline Paw Print”. We hope you all enjoy!” -Stephanie Jones
