Meet Mrs. Hulscher, our new ELA Co-Teacher.
"I am originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico but grew up in the Sioux Falls area. I previously taught 8th grade ELA at Ben Reifel Middle School.
I live with my husband and our three dogs, three geckos, and one cat. We foster dogs with AHCR, so we usually have a couple more animals around than our original seven! In the summer, my husband and I like to travel. This summer we explored different parts of Italy!
This year, I am most excited to be back at GMMS with the awesome staff and kids! I spent my first year teaching at George and have missed the community ever since. I am also excited to be coaching cheer with Coach Bates and the talented student athletes!"
