Teacher Spotlight: Jenna Gunning. Mrs. Gunning has been a kindergarten teacher for Galatia Grade School for 7 years. She also currently serves as Grade School Drama Co-Sponsor.
Mrs. Gunning had this to say about working at Galatia Schools: "I would defiantly say there are so many wonderful things that I love about my job. Just to name a few, I would have to start with the people that I work with. Not only do I have a great group of coworkers, but they have also turned into some wonderful friendships. The community and the parents that I have meet during my time here have been amazing. I absolutely love teaching Kindergarten. Getting to watch the students as they move on to the older grades and see how well have they done is truly touching to know that I had a part of that. I also admire my coworker in Kindergarten. We work very well together and we help each other thrive and grow."
Mrs. Gunning's coworkers had this to say: "Her students and co-workers love her and her joyful spirit. She is a hard worker and she makes learning fun for her students."
We asked her some interesting questions:
Question: What is your spirit animal?
Response: I would have to say that my spirit animal would have to be a dolphin. I absolutely love to go swimming and being in the water. I love to go to the ocean and soak up the sun on the beach. 😍
Question: Where is your favorite destination you’ve visited, and why?
Response: My favorite destination would have to be Gatlinburg, TN. We go every year for vacation. It has such beautiful scenery and is a family oriented destination. There is so much to do that you will never get bored. If you ever need tips for a Smokey Mountain trip, I am the girl to ask. 😊
Thank you Mrs. Gunning for all your hard work!

Miss Glenda had this to say about working for Galatia Schools: "I love the kids at Galatia. As a teacher I was known as Mrs. Wilson. Now I am called Miss Glenda. One of my kids calls me, "Miss Guh... Linda. I love the different personalities. They can make you smile, even when you have had a bad day."
Miss Glenda's coworkers had this to say: "She has such a heart for learning and has so many "tricks" to help kids learn what they can't initially understand."
We asked her some interesting questions:
Question: What is something unique about you (a fun fact) that few people are aware of?
Response: Most people do not know that I once showed horses all over the country. I drove a six horse trailer and had a diesel truck.
Question: What is your favorite pastime?
Response: My favorite pastime is taking care of my horses. My granddaughter rides and shows now, but we don't travel all over like I use to do. I have four old, retired horses that I will take care of for the rest of their life.
Thank you Miss Glenda for all your hard work!
