First up on our Staff Spotlight is Abby Moon!
Mrs. Moon is one of our Lower Elementary Teachers. Outside of school, she loves to play music, both the drums and guitar! She enjoys spending time with her husband and dog by going on walks and playing outside. In the summer, she spends time on the lake with her parents. Traveling is a passion of hers because it allows her to see and do new things! She has participated in many mission trips to Jamaica. Her favorite foods are ice cream and coffee! She is looking forward to meeting new students and forming a new family with the colleagues and students at Pleasant Lake! We are so excited to have Mrs. Moon as a part of our teaching team.
