FACULTY/ STAFF NEWS (continued) On April 18 and 19, several teachers participated in a Google Apps for Education Summit in Baltimore, including: Kindergarten teachers Emma Barnes and Danielle Muller; Middle School Latin teacher Brandy Henricks; Kindergarten assistant Lisa Hoff; Middle School Spanish teacher Jose Luis Mora Carbajo; Lower School Spanish teacher Noemi Villalta Li; Middle School Technology Integration Specialist Sam Moser; Instructional Coach and Middle School English teacher Jennifer McKain; Middle School Learning Specialist Katherine O’Donnell; and Junior Kindergarten teacher Julie Thomas. The teachers attended a variety of hands-on workshops to learn more about integrating Google applications into their classrooms.
In June, after the school year ended, Lower School faculty and staff sorted through their classrooms and packaged boxes of gently used school supplies, books and other educational resources to send to communities in need— nationally and internationally—via the nonprofit organization Gleaning for the World.
Tommy McFly, 94.7 FRESH FM radio host and WUSA-TV/Channel 9 correspondent is an active proponent of teacher appreciation, and, in April, he visited with cupcakes to thank Flint Hill teachers for their dedication to educating our students.
