My name is Jill Gerweck and I am so excited to be teaching 6th grade English this year. The 2013-2014 school year marks my 8th year of teaching at MMS.
I grew up right down the road in Dundee and am a 2002 graduate of Dundee High School. I went on to attend the University of Toledo and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Middle Level Education (ELA & Social Studies). I recently finished my Master's Degree through Marygrove College, graduating with an MA in the Art of Teaching, with a focus on Reading and Literacy. I'm excited to be able to apply all that I learned through this program in my role as English teacher! :)
When I'm not at school, I'm busy spending time with family and friends. My husband, Jeff, and I live in Maybee with our three year old sweet pea, Sophie, and our newest little love bug, Anna (born March 2014). I also have two step-daughters who spend their weekends with us: Michaela is a 14 year old freshman and Emily is a 12 year old 7th grader at Airport Schools in Carleton. We enjoy spending time together as a family, playing outside, traveling, watching movies, and being silly.
I'm looking forward to a great year!! :) Please contact me at anytime with questions or concerns.
