🌟IMPACT All Star Series🌟

🐬Meet Dowell’s difference makers…the incredible people behind the IMPACT!🐬

📢Introducing: Mrs. Brooke Duggan from the first grade team!

Hey everyone! My name is Brooke Duggan and I teach DLI English in First Grade. I have my bachelors and masters degrees from Georgia State and I will graduate with my Specialist from West Georgia in December. I love to read, travel, and hang out with my cats, Fitz and Gray. I love teaching because I love helping students learn to read and write. Reading can take you to so many worlds and explore new places.
