I transitioned to a new job in NH working in another residential treatment facility. On May 1, 2012, we welcomed our son Finnegan Irving Wheeler into the world! We moved to Warren in 2012 and have been here since.

| David Kirk, Music
dkirk@sau23.org
My name is Mr. David Kirk, and I am the new music teacher here at Warren Village School. This year I will also teach at Bath Village School, Woodsville Elementary School and Haverhill Cooperative Middle School. I graduated from Plymouth State University just a few years ago and this is my second year teaching out of school, I still am always learning (and I think we all still are). Last year I taught in Rivendell School District, in Fairlee VT. We had an amazing year and I am very excited to start my next chapter of my life here at Warren and in SAU 23. I hope to teach music that students can take with them forever. I hope they will teach these songs to their friends and family and maybe even their kids later in life. This year I am looking forward to an exciting year full of singing, dancing, movement, instrument playing, and music making. |
