Elizabeth Gruenke, Churchill Junior High

“Elizabeth is one of the most talented and dedicated teachers I’ve known. She is on the leadership team at school and has been instrumental is helping increase our literacy and writing scores by implementing writing standards and introducing it to the entire staff. She works with her grade level team to stream line procedures and support the other teachers. She created a leveled, cross curricular unit with the science teacher that introduces science fiction to help students in their science classes as well! She is always willing to help teachers learn technology and improve their own skills. She also works hard coaching track and cross country and uses this a wonderful opportunity to form strong bonds with her students.”
