Hello, and welcome to 7th Grade Social Studies! My name is Tim Gumz, and I am one of two seventh grade Social Studies instructors here at Pinewood Middle School. I graduated from Grand Valley State University in April 2013, and I completed my student teaching at East Kentwood High School. Prior to Grand Valley, I grew up on the east side of the state, where I attended Rochester High School. I graduated from GVSU with a degree in Group Social Studies and a teachable minor in English, and I also competed as a member of GVSU's cross country and track teams. I am very excited for this school year and all of the memories that it promises to bring! Please feel free to contact me using the contact form below.
