Ms. Elmore is the new seventh grade math teacher in the Upper School. She is usually found in Ms. Sherwin’s room, teaching her class, or doing a crazy project like the “Barbie Bungee Jumping.” She grew up in Long Island, where she played ice hockey. There weren’t any girls’ teams where she lived, so she played on the all-boys’ team. She has been teaching for about seventeen years, in places that range from New York to Michigan and Texas. She loves to travel around the country. She met her husband around the same time that she started teaching. He is now the head of the Upper School at GFA, the school that her eight-year-old daughter attends. She is an avid reader. Her favorite books include The Little Prince, The Velveteen Rabbit, All The King’s Men, The Book Thief, and To Kill a Mockingbird, and she has written two math and science books! She also enjoys listening to music and is a pianist herself. She enjoys playing pieces by Debussy and Michael Nyman (a more modern composer). Her movie of choice is “Billy Elliot”, which she has seen as both a play on Broadway and a movie. Why does she like it so much? “The dance and the storyline”, she says.
