Crew Connection We couldn't do what we do without each amazing member of our team. This space is dedicated to highlighting a member (or two!) of our Crew. Everyone on our team will be featured throughout the year, and our hope is that we all feel connected with one another even though we are unable to all connect in person. Bryanna Antle, Elementary Teacher (School Biography here) What would you like people to know about you and the work you do at MMS? What inspires you the most about working at MMS?
I am most inspired by the culture of the classroom I have had the honor of substituting in. It has been a profound opportunity to be a member of the classroom for the beginning of school and to now get to see it led by the woman who developed the culture.
What are you looking forward to the most during the 2020-2021 school year? I am most looking forward to continuing to learn from and collaborate with the incredible team of Elementary teachers and faculty. The opportunity to work as a substitute and engage with different classrooms is also very alluring; I will have the opportunity to witness a variety of styles, practices, and cultures from an experienced team of dedicated and passionate guides.
