Fitz and Rhonda met and married while teaching high school in Calgary. They loved working together then, and they love working together now. Currently, Rhonda is a facilitator for WISDOM as well as the English & Social Studies Specialist, and Fitz is her amazing assistant who also tutors Chemistry online and leads WISDOM’s in-person Physics Labs. Together, they have almost fifty years of teaching experience!
Their three children are in Grades 9, 11, and 12 and have all been homeschooled since kindergarten. They live in Rocky Mountain House where there is a large and active homeschool community, including the Classical Conversations coop that Rhonda started in 2018 and where she directs Challenge II.
Some of Caluttung’s favourite things to do as a family include hosting movie nights for family and friends, playing frisbee, reading together, and taking naps. The girls like to bead and knit and draw and journal and the boys like to wrestle and play board games and play Minecraft and tell punny jokes. They have a nine year old standard poodle named Mahal who dislikes classical music and whines when the kids practise piano.
Random tidbits: Rhonda is a passionate reader and especially enjoys her Well-Read Mom book club. She is Métis and directs The Métis Heritage Project, a nonprofit that works in partnership with Parks Canada to provide interpretation programs at the National Historic Site in Rocky Mountain House. Rhonda is a certified life coach.
