Staff Spotlight for April 5, 2023

Jacquelyn Gulla
Kindergarten Teacher at Denti Elementary

How long have you worked in the RCSD?
I’ve worked in the RCSD for 21 years

What I like most about my job:  
Kindergarten is an amazing place to be!  I love watching my students learn, watching them grow.  No matter if it is learning to use words instead of their hands to express themselves, learning to write their names or read, or learning to play cooperatively--watching their faces light up when they “get it” is so amazing!  They are so eager to learn. One student recently told me that he needed to start going to snapping school, as he did not know how to snap--he was so serious ! Not a day goes by that we do not share an abundance of laughter. I just love these littles.  

What inspires you? 
My students and my own children inspire me to be better today, than yesterday.   Each day is a new day to be better,  to approach something differently, in the event that things did look the way that I desired the previous day.  My colleagues also inspire me daily----we all have different areas of expertise, and I love seeing and hearing how they approach their days, how they get certain concepts across.  

What is a fun fact about you?
I love reading, live music, and traveling to new places.
