Teacher Tuesday: Megan Richter Edition

Caffeinated Counselor Introduction
Megan joined the 2nd grade team 3 years ago and she fit right in. Trust me, that is no easy feat.  We are talking about a team with at least 50 years of combined experience and they have been together for years. Her team speaks so highly of her and that is such an amazing compliment coming from such established educators. Megan also comes from a family of educators, so it's pretty much in her blood. When she was hired, the first thing we heard was that she actually went to Beverly as a student. I think that is so cool! She had several of our teachers who still work here or sub here as her teachers.

Megan is kind, dedicated, and always willing to take risks. She tries new ideas and is so positive when doing so. I love going to her class for guidance lessons. When I walk in, I always find her reading a book to her students. They are absolutely silent, wrapped up in the story, and sprawled out on the floor comfortably imagining the characters. I guarantee this is something they will remember forever.

I won't delay the fun any longer. Introducing the fabulous Megan Richter.
