“I love teaching Summer Clubs because I get to spend time doing fun activities with our students!”
-Ms. Wintle, GDA Clubs Teacher
Hello, I’m Ms. Gjetta and I have loved getting to better know your children, it has been such an honor!!!
My favorite thing about teaching clubs is the friendships I have with the kids. These kids are such amazing little people and I learn so much from them!
Then, when they age out of clubs, we continue that friendship as they get older and that has been such a blessing to my life. They really are some of my best friends! I love watching them grow into the person God has for them to be. I also strive to model the saying, “Be who you needed, when you were young”.
Thank you for allowing me to teach your children!
“I enjoy teaching clubs because it gives me the opportunity to get to know students that are in various grades and who attend different campuses. I enjoy getting to know the kids and building relationships with them beyond the normal classroom setting. Clubs allows students to choose activities that they enjoy and excel in areas outside of academics. I love teaching, encouraging, and helping our students as they discover and enjoy the gifts and talents God has uniquely given them!”
