Wendy Rust
LEAP (Gifted) Teacher
Platte Purchase Middle School
I began teaching in 2001 and my teaching experience includes 4th and 5th grade general ed, Kindergarten through 8th grade gifted, and high school gifted advisor. This year, I am teaching 6, 7, and 8th grade gifted ed as well as serving grades 9-12 as the PCHS LEAP facilitator. Mr. Rust and I have been married since 2000 and we are the proud parents of four awesome people, ranging in age from middle school to college. I love the Beatles, hand and machine sewing (mostly quilts), and walking my dogs. I love my job. I mean it. My goal every day is to make a positive impact on students. I am who I am mostly because of the students I have had.
