Across
  1. 2. I’m like a pesky brother, I have been from the start; but when it comes to my students I have a big heart.
  2. 3. I flip my light switch and someone else’s room goes dark. On our state scores, my students exceed the mark.
  3. 5. My name belongs to a Jefferson, as well as a tank engine. My office was once a bathroom and I have no extension.
  4. 7. I'm here for you if you are ill. Need a sub? I'll sit and chill!
  5. 9. Having a bake-off? I'm in it to win it. Have a papercut? Rub some dirt in it!
  6. 10. My time here is up, only a few days I have. To find me next year, drive over to Fyler Ave.!
  7. 11. I’m on the top floor, I’m one of the men. My favorite Batman villain is probably The Penguin.
  8. 13. I govern the tempo when I stand in the front. A musician I can make even the smallest runt.
  9. 14. I used to speak Spanish, and I probably still do. I’ve had lots of titles here, definitely more than you!
  10. 17. I’m always on the run, don’t you see me after school? Just me and my girls making exercise look cool!
  11. 20. I send a lot of emails, I’m sorry to say. Ones like “what can they work on?” or “this is who’s out today!”
  12. 24. I teach composition and all that it renders. If you see me around, I’m likely wearing suspenders.
  13. 25. I was the sub for a sub, but that is no more. I can sub for you now, or give you a tour!
  14. 29. I do a lot around here, I get it, I do; but I won Teach of the Year when I was brand new.
  15. 31. I’m everyone’s mom, or auntie or sister. The kids all love her, they cannot resist her.
  16. 34. I'm also a Griswold, at least my first name. I know a lot about lit, it's my claim to fame.
  17. 37. My first name is a lion’s, but with an extra letter. I’ve been doing a great job and I’m only getting better!
  18. 38. I'm not always here, but when I am I'm always great. I won't rush you when talking, I'd rather listen and wait.
  19. 40. Out of love for my students, I like to heckle and annoy; but unlike my Wednesday twin, I won 2nd year TOY.
  20. 41. When I am not here, this place falls apart. If the school is a body, then I am the heart!
  21. 43. I’m part of the team, I still show up for cheer. The rest of the time, “she doesn’t even go here!”
  22. 44. I am one of three and my job is really fun; but make me angry and I’m gonna make you run!
  23. 47. I’ve got the talent and a really big heart. It’s so nice to finally see the kids be excited about art!
  24. 48. I speak several languages, at least one or two. I teach kids about cultures, and business too!
  25. 50. My name is a Simpson and also a Helen. What will we learn today? There’s really no tellin’.
  26. 52. Someone please help, my window unit froze. I’d fix it myself, but I’ve broken my toes.
  27. 54. I'm on the second floor, but a classroom I do not teach. I'm likely next door from Tara helping a kid with their speech.
  28. 55. I either can or I can’t, but my name implies the former. I’m kind and I’m pleasant, couldn’t be any warmer!
  29. 56. I’m queen of my department, everyone knows I’m in charge. Compared to me, my subjects are quite large.
  30. 58. My name is a type of lunch meat, a lot of it, too. I’ve always got a smile and a friendly greeting for you!
  31. 59. When it comes to performance, I have high expectations. For silly excuses I have very little patience.
Down
  1. 1. My name is a Griswold, sometimes with an “e”. I forget the kids' names, but they never forget me!
  2. 2. Once I was a Para, now I’m a core. I teach about the world and all of its lore.
  3. 4. I’m kind of like the wizard, but way more demure. I teach about problems, numbers are their cure.
  4. 6. I command respect in every hall I walk down. If you end up with me, you’re probably a clown.
  5. 8. My name is a bell, a loud piece of brass. You were with Mrs. Taylor? Show me your pass!
  6. 11. My name is cat, but also a twist. If I’m not here, my presence is truly missed.
  7. 12. I enjoy the company, it was lonely before. I'm the shadowy figure that just walked through your door.
  8. 15. I’ve listened a lot today, hence the lack of urgency. Always remember: crying isn’t an emergency.
  9. 16. I’ll send a reminder email. Or seven. Or eight. But one thing about me is I’ll never be late!
  10. 18. I may be quiet, but I dare you to debate me. I’m a human search engine, and it’s impossible to hate me
  11. 19. I'm new but I'm not, I worked here before. Right now I teach how the moon affects the shore.
  12. 21. I’m the kindest person here, no one can compare! Always willing to help and willing to share.
  13. 22. I sometimes wear glasses, but sometimes I don’t. I love all my students and give up on them I won’t.
  14. 23. My name is a month, but also a fruit. I’m always encouraging and thoughtful to boot!
  15. 26. I’m new to GSA, but not to teaching. “READ A DARN BOOK!” is what I be preaching.
  16. 27. I stand in the back so that I’m not in the way. The second day of the school week is pronounced “Chewsday”.
  17. 28. I think I’m unfunny, but this is not true. When the moment calls for quick wit, I’m always on cue.
  18. 30. I have a cool club where we ponder the stars. Sometimes we see planets, like Saturn or Mars.
  19. 32. My name is not Meg, or Jo, or Amy. I wear lots of pink, but, can you blame me?
  20. 33. Do I work here, or am I at the high school? Either way I teach kids that playing music is cool.
  21. 35. I can look intimidating, but I don’t mean to scare. Deep down inside I’m a big teddy bear.
  22. 36. My first name is affiliated with being home alone. I love my job, and through my work it is shown.
  23. 39. I'm a silent hero, I go where I'm needed. Need anything? Downstairs I am seated.
  24. 40. I'm the king of the school, you all know this. When I'm not here, I'm someone you miss.
  25. 42. I’m the first line of defense – the first face they see. I joined a bit late and I’m sweet as can be!
  26. 45. I coach wrestling and sub, that's what I do here. Gonna be out today? Have no fear!
  27. 46. I make learning fun, I like to try something new. But when things get too loud, I know that’s my cue.
  28. 49. If you’re having a problem, don’t give me a jeer. I didn’t install the internet, I just work here.
  29. 51. My nickname is a type of shirt and I look fabulous in gold. Don't know what you're doing in math? Just listen to me and do what you're told.
  30. 53. I don’t make baskets, or nests or hair; but I’ll get you to class with just a firm glare.
  31. 54. I’m always in a meeting, usually an IEP. Want special services? Documentation is key!
  32. 57. My name sounds like a hotel for grizzlies, but I’m not like them. I’m simply here to prove that girls belong in STEM!
