About Us
This is Mr. Leavitt's first year as Resnik's Media Specialist! Previously, he was a classroom teacher, teaching 2nd graders and kindergarteners. He comes from a family of teachers, with no fewer than 8 family members having a history teaching in Montgomery County Public Schools. He enjoys reading books of all kinds, studying movies, playing video games, and relaxing at home with his wife and two kittens. He is very excited to be a part of the Resnik community!
