My name is Charles Wenzel and I am thrilled to be a fourth-grade teacher again this year!

I am originally from Portland, but have lived in Washington since attending college at Gonzaga University. Outside of school, I love to spend time outdoors enjoying the amazing waterways, mountains, and forests that we are so lucky to have here in the Pacific Northwest.

In my free time, I enjoy activities such as fishing, hiking, snowboarding, kiteboarding, and taking my golden retriever, Oakley, to the beach. I also love to cheer on my favorite sports teams. Go Seahawks and Gonzaga Bulldogs!
