Mrs. McGee loves everything that brings light and joy, including puzzles, musicals, travel, singing in the kitchen, singing in the car, singing to students, reading, chocolate, homemade bread, puppies, dirty sodas, babies, being silly, flowers, exercise and sunshine. The greatest joys of her life are her family, including her new husband, four children, and 4-year goldendoodle Evie. Welcome back Mrs. McGee!

Welcome to Spring Lake, Mrs. Porter! She is from Southern California and loves the beach and the sun.
