Hello! My name is Tracy Dick and I’m excited to be starting my ninth year as a SAGE teacher! Before coming to SAGE, I taught fourth grade for three years and fifth grade for three years at Clardy Elementary. My husband, Roger, and I have two daughters who are graduates of the North Kansas City School District and SAGE alumni. It has been fun experiencing SAGE through the lens of a parent and a teacher and seeing firsthand the positive impact it has had on so many students, including my own! I’m looking forward to another great year at the NIC.

My name is Erin Nash, and I am so excited to work with your child this year! I have been with our district’s gifted program since 2013, and before that, I taught Biology at the high school level for ten years. I love spending my time with my two daughters – Delaney and Neve – and my husband – Sean. When I am not teaching, I love to run, read, cycle, garden, swim, and create! I am passionate about teaching, and I love the opportunity to share my love of science in my Unit of Study courses!

Hello! I am excited to be your child’s SAGE teacher this year. I am a southern girl – I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and then my husband and I raised our family in Jacksonville, Florida. We transitioned to become Midwesterners in 2004 and I have loved experiencing the four seasons here – I am an outdoor enthusiast! I have taught gifted students for the past 32 years and love the challenge of trying to keep up with their enthusiasm for learning!

This year will be my 8th in teaching Spanish in the gifted program. At home my husband Marty and I have three children.
