🎙Staff Spotlight🎙
👩🏼🎓 Meet Mrs. Emily Dees – Magnolia Graduate (2000) – 15 Years in Education 📚
🦠 3rd Grade Math and Science Teacher – Panther Paw Room 🐾
❤️Family: “I am now blessed with a big family. My daughter, Sade, and I gained my husband, Jonathan, and Brooke, Jaxson, and Emma last October!”❤️
👊🏻Personal philosophy: "If it's not fun, you're not doing it right!"👏🏻
What do you love most about East Side: “I never believed that a group of teachers could become as tight as we are here at EES. My third grade team teachers are the BEST!”
💃Hobbies: “Dancing, Amazon, and sleeping!” 📦
🎶 Something she would like to learn: “I am a terrible singer and wished I would have taken voice lessons as a child. After many private car concerts while driving, I'm afraid it's too late.”💁🏼♀️
➕➗✖️Interesting fact: “Many seem surprised (especially my students) when I tell them Math was the subject in school I had to work the hardest for. I definitely have found my passion in teaching Math, and I think it's because I struggled as a student and love allowing my students to "get it."” 💥
☀️Educational Philosophy: "Never underestimate your words. They are seeds. Most students wait to hear I KNOW YOU CAN! Share those words with our students and you'll see them do what they fear, try what they feel incapable of doing, hope and dream bigger and become more than they thought possible!"🏅
