First up, Mrs. Jamie Landon!
What inspired her to become a teacher?
"My own teachers and how they made me feel seen and heard, and how that built my confidence through learning. I hope to provide that same space to my students each year with the relationships we build."
A little bit about her...
"I'm a wife to a wonderful husband for over 10 years, and we have two energetic boys, Charlie and Amos, who keep us busy. We are in the process of moving, where my boys will attend ACA. We like to travel to new places, go camping, and enjoy being outside. I enjoy all things Taylor Swift, pickleball, watching sports (Go Tigers!) and being active. I traveled to 7 countries across Europe in 14 days with a group of students last year, and it was such a fun learning experience! I'm a huge prankster, and love to make things fun."
