Favorite Interaction With Students
I absolutely love being an eighth grade advisor. Starting every morning with students fills my cup and sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Favorite Graland Moment
My favorite Graland moment is the first day of school. I love how excited the kids are to see friends and teachers after the long summer break. Spirits are high and you can feel the energy in the hallways.
