Hailey: Is there a previous teacher that inspired you to grow up and teach English?

Ms. Glavich: The English teachers that I had my junior and senior year of high school both inspired me to grow up and teach English.

I still keep in touch with both of them, and I’m excited to try some of their lessons in my classroom this year!
