Across
- 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.
- 3. I flip my light switch and someone else’s room goes dark. On our state scores, my students exceed the mark.
- 5. My name belongs to a Jefferson, as well as a tank engine. My office was once a bathroom and I have no extension.
- 7. I'm here for you if you are ill. Need a sub? I'll sit and chill!
- 9. Having a bake-off? I'm in it to win it. Have a papercut? Rub some dirt in it!
- 10. My time here is up, only a few days I have. To find me next year, drive over to Fyler Ave.!
- 11. I’m on the top floor, I’m one of the men. My favorite Batman villain is probably The Penguin.
- 13. I govern the tempo when I stand in the front. A musician I can make even the smallest runt.
- 14. I used to speak Spanish, and I probably still do. I’ve had lots of titles here, definitely more than you!
- 17. I’m always on the run, don’t you see me after school? Just me and my girls making exercise look cool!
- 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!”
- 24. I teach composition and all that it renders. If you see me around, I’m likely wearing suspenders.
- 25. I was the sub for a sub, but that is no more. I can sub for you now, or give you a tour!
- 29. I do a lot around here, I get it, I do; but I won Teach of the Year when I was brand new.
- 31. I’m everyone’s mom, or auntie or sister. The kids all love her, they cannot resist her.
- 34. I'm also a Griswold, at least my first name. I know a lot about lit, it's my claim to fame.
- 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!
- 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.
- 40. Out of love for my students, I like to heckle and annoy; but unlike my Wednesday twin, I won 2nd year TOY.
- 41. When I am not here, this place falls apart. If the school is a body, then I am the heart!
- 43. I’m part of the team, I still show up for cheer. The rest of the time, “she doesn’t even go here!”
- 44. I am one of three and my job is really fun; but make me angry and I’m gonna make you run!
- 47. I’ve got the talent and a really big heart. It’s so nice to finally see the kids be excited about art!
- 48. I speak several languages, at least one or two. I teach kids about cultures, and business too!
- 50. My name is a Simpson and also a Helen. What will we learn today? There’s really no tellin’.
- 52. Someone please help, my window unit froze. I’d fix it myself, but I’ve broken my toes.
- 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.
- 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!
- 56. I’m queen of my department, everyone knows I’m in charge. Compared to me, my subjects are quite large.
- 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!
- 59. When it comes to performance, I have high expectations. For silly excuses I have very little patience.
Down

- 2. Once I was a Para, now I’m a core. I teach about the world and all of its lore.
- 4. I’m kind of like the wizard, but way more demure. I teach about problems, numbers are their cure.

- 8. My name is a bell, a loud piece of brass. You were with Mrs. Taylor? Show me your pass!
- 11. My name is cat, but also a twist. If I’m not here, my presence is truly missed.

- 16. I’ll send a reminder email. Or seven. Or eight. But one thing about me is I’ll never be late!
- 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

- 23. My name is a month, but also a fruit. I’m always encouraging and thoughtful to boot!
- 26. I’m new to GSA, but not to teaching. “READ A DARN BOOK!” is what I be preaching.
- 27. I stand in the back so that I’m not in the way. The second day of the school week is pronounced “Chewsday”.

- 45. I coach wrestling and sub, that's what I do here. Gonna be out today? Have no fear!
- 46. I make learning fun, I like to try something new. But when things get too loud, I know that’s my cue.
- 49. If you’re having a problem, don’t give me a jeer. I didn’t install the internet, I just work here.
- 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.
- 53. I don’t make baskets, or nests or hair; but I’ll get you to class with just a firm glare.
- 54. I’m always in a meeting, usually an IEP. Want special services? Documentation is key!
