Byron "Tanner" Cross ~ Physical Education SpecialistThis is my 17th year serving as an educator. It is my 11th year in Loudoun County, and my 6th year with the FAMI-LEE. It has been a blessing, having the opportunity to work at all levels of education in multiple areas, but teaching elementary PE here is my professional passion. Here at Leesburg, physical education plans are designed to meet the learning needs of all students. I enjoy teaching students the necessary locomotor, non-locomotor and manipulative skills. I also enjoy teaching LEE students health and nutrition content. Especially the bones and muscles. Last but not least, I believe in bringing out the best character in Leesburg students through movement, personal responsibility and social skills.Tammy Nemish ~ Physical Education Specialist
