WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE TEACHER AND WHY?
Mrs. Pitcher, a long-term substitute teacher during my kindergarten year. Normally the GFA Middle School French teacher, Mrs. Pitcher joined our class in the winter and promptly taught me how to read. She was incredibly kind, patient, and smelled like pine cones!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT EA?
We are all school nerds, and I love it. We share a love for every aspect of a school, from the campus to its community and most of all, the teachers and staff.
