I’m in my 11th year of teaching at Savannah R-III School District. I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, and 4th Grade.
I was just beginning my freshman year at Northwest when the twin towers were attacked on September 11, 2001. I remember my floor-mates in Hudson Hall all gathered around a television as we processed what was happening. The entire university came together for a vigil at the bell tower. That’s the moment I first felt and understood what was meant by ‘Bearcat Family’. At a time when people were terrified and scared, we felt safe at Northwest and comforted by those around us.
