Gifts for Newbies


During the first staff meeting, new teachers received a gift packet from the ASB. It included a beautiful Bonita hooded sweater, a spirited "I Bleed Green And White" shirt, a green "B Extraordinary" wristband, and a personalized welcoming tag. I am grateful and excited for the smooth start to a new school year and a new beginning. (A special thank you goes to Mrs. Lindsay, our ASB advisor and our math department chair.)

A New Bearcat


After eight wonderful years at GHS, I have decided to make a change for both personal and profession grow.  I was granted an opportunity to teach at a different school.  It was a difficult decision to leave a group of excellent teacher-friends.  Since I did not know of the change until summer started, I did not have a chance to say good-byes.  The summer of 2014 was spent on setting up my new classroom and lesson planning.  Ironically, my new classroom has virtually the same dimension and design as my classroom in the past eight years.
