Staffing Updates
Every school year brings Welcomes and Farewells for our School Family.
This year we said Farewells to several teachers who began a new chapter in their journey:
- Maggie Burnett, who worked at Edgemere ES for 4 years, teaching our IGE 3 Pre-School program, will be teaching kindergarten this year at Logan Elementary.
- Tracy Kurtz, who taught grade 4 for three years, will be working to oversee the children and youth ministries at her church.
- Dan Reaves, who taught Vocal Music at Edgemere for 18 years will be greatly missed! He will continue teaching at Shady Spring Elementary.
- Emily Orlins, a special educator, will now be part of the school family at Federal Hill Prep Academy in Baltimore City.
We will Welcome some new faces as well:
- Melissa Baldwin will be moving out of kindergarten and into the Vocal Music position. She will also be helping to teach 4th grade content.
- Maria Sorrentino will be our new kindergarten teacher. Although she is a new official member of our family, she is not new to Edgemere. Last school year, she supported students in Mrs. Baldwin’s kindergarten class as a student intern.
- Tonya White, from Edmonson ES, is going to be teaching our IGE3/OGE4 PreSchool class. Tonya has dedicated her teaching career to helping the youngest scholars, and she will be a welcome addition to Edgemere.
