✨ Meet Our New Teachers! ✨
We are excited to welcome two wonderful new teachers to the GCCS family for the upcoming school year!
🍎 Welcome, Mrs. Diana Akers – Pre-K Teacher!
Mrs. Akers and her husband have been married for 22 years and are the proud parents of four children—two in college and two in high school. Their home is also filled with furry friends, including two cats, two rabbits, and a guinea pig! She enjoys cooking, baking, hiking, playing board games with her family, and traveling in search of the best local ice cream shops.
Mrs. Akers earned her Associate of Arts in Early Childhood Education from Baptist Bible College. She shares, "I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity to join the GCCS family, and I cannot wait to meet all of you!"
🍎 Welcome, Mrs. Lauren O'Grady – K/1 Teacher!
Mrs. O'Grady graduated from SUNY Oswego with a Bachelor of Science in Adolescent Education with a concentration in English. She later earned her Master of Science in Education in Inclusive Education from Nazareth College.
She enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and young son, reading, and vacationing. After 16 years of teaching high school English, she is excited to begin this new chapter teaching our Kindergarten/1st Grade class and is thrilled to join the GCCS family!
Please join us in giving Mrs. Akers and Mrs. O'Grady a warm GCCS welcome! We are blessed to have them on our team and can't wait to see the impact they will have on our students this year. 💙📚
