Meet this week’s teacher: Mrs. Webb! She is the High School Spanish teacher at AVS. Some of Ms. Webb interests are line dancing, snorkeling, and she has attended Appalachian football games for over 40 years! When she was in school she, of course, liked Spanish, but also enjoyed Math and played the saxophone in middle school. Her heroes are her grandmothers who were always gracious and generous. Ms. Webb is excited to be a part of the AVS family because I love using technology to enhance student learning. Her favorite part has been working with students who attend class with a thirst for knowledge and a willingness to take risks in the language. Thanks Ms. Webb for all you do at AVS! Tune in next Monday to meet the next AVS team member!
