Words Matter
The Power of Words
"When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language."
—James Earl Jones
Hello There!
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Ginger Spiller. I am delighted to be a part of the Region 9 Education Service Center’s family. Knowing the value and importance of words coupled with my love for teaching has enabled me to journey through thirty-plus years of classroom experiences. I have loved each minute of every year, from working with sixth-grade students with dyslexia to teaching seniors Advanced Placement Literature and Composition. My goal in working at the service center is to build a relationship with you and to be accessible to you. Please reach out to me by phone 940.322.6928 or by email ginger.spiller@esc9.net. I would love to have a discussion about literature or life. I look forward to exploring interesting topics.
