Teacher Spotlight: Meagan Biggerstaff. Mrs. Biggerstaff has worked in education for 17 years, 15 of those yeas she has worked for Galatia Schools. She has served in various roles here: PreK, Kindergarten and 2nd grade. Mrs. Biggerstaff said her favorite part about working at Galatia Schools is: " I just really enjoy coming to work in a place that feels so comfortable. The people I work with and the little people I work for are great!" Mrs. Biggerstaff's coworkers had this to say: " I am thankful I get to work with Meagan every day. She’s always willing to try new things to help the students have fun and learn too. I’m lucky to call her my coworker and friend. " We asked her some interesting questions: Question: Where is your favorite destination you’ve visited, and why? Response: My favorite destination would have to be New Orleans. The colorful buildings and old architecture were beautiful. Jazz music and dancing is everywhere and it is just so fun. I also really enjoy spicy food so all the Cajun seasonings were right up my alley. The area is very eclectic with so many different things to do and see. I would love to go back. Question: Which do you prefer: flying automobiles, robot housekeepers, or lunar cities? Response: The process of housekeeping does not bring me joy but a clean house does. For this reason I would prefer robot housekeepers. Especially, if she is as cool as Rosey from the Jetsons. Thank you Mrs. Biggerstaff for all your hard work!
