Brian Meagher 2nd Grade Teacher
I love teaching. I love the uniqueness of each day and feeling that I’m doing a job that can make a positive difference in someone’s life. I enjoy trying to create engaging lessons that will motivate students to do their best. The challenges of finding the perfect chapter book to spark interest in a beginning reader, setting up a science experiment that will captivate a young mind, or finding a math approach that will meet the needs of different learning styles makes for a rewarding career.
