Ivan Green Primary -

This week's #TeamAprreciationTuesday goes to Gretchen Vandermortel, IG Special Education Teacher. "Gretchen has such patience and grace in her role as an educator, team leader, and friend. She makes great connections and builds relationships with students and adults she works with. This openness allows others to easily gravitate toward her when in need. She is always brainstorming a solution to questions, challenges, and always puts students first." - Principal Lucas Hiley & Team #LancerLove
