New First Grade Teacher at Spanish Oaks

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

Megann McKendrick is our new first grade teacher this year at Spanish Oaks!  She is doing a fabulous job!

Megann grew up in Highland and graduated from American Fork High School.  She recently returned from Indiana where she spent the past 18 months.  She loves soccer, racquetball and especially basketball.  She was even on a state champion basketball team!  She likes doing things with her 5 siblings outdoors.  She has a strong desire to help the world, one person at a time, and hopes to start fulfilling that goal in her first grade classroom.

Second graders in Mrs. Graham's class are SO excited to have mini iPads!  We read on them today and had a blast!  We can't wait to have fun learning with them all year long!  A special "thank you" to several grant-writing teachers and our amazing PTA .... their efforts made it possible for us to purchase mini iPads for our K-2 classes.
