My relationship with Amy was Division Director/Substitute Teacher. However Amy was much more than a substitute teacher. She was a fixture at MCDS. Amy didn't just sit there and play with her phone, as is the case sometimes with subs. She worked with and cared about the kids, and even reported back to me when she saw a behavior that needed attention. She loved Middle School, which I know is hard to imagine for many. Amy was always there when we called and sometimes would rearrange her schedule to work when needed. I especially enjoyed our talks about life prior to the start of the day since she would always come in early and I was at work early as well. Amy was a gift to MCDS and to the kids. She will be missed. My condolences go out to her family.
