We also gained some gorgeous magnolia trees lining the sidewalk into the cafeteria.

Amber Gangis 3rd Grade Math and Science-
Hiii, I’m Amber Gangis and I have been an educator since 2010. I taught First Grade for most of my career but for the last few years I have been teaching 3rd Grade Math/Science. To say that I LOVE my current grade level/content area is an understatement!
I have two kiddos that both attend York and they love when we walk to/from school everyday. My husband was a long time High School teacher and just recently left the field to peruse his passion in video content.
I am obsessed with Christmas and reading; I challenged myself to read 100 books in 2022 and I am almost there!
I hope to see you all around campus this year!
