Get to Know Mrs. Bruwer 2009-2010  Hello, I am beginning my seventh year of teaching, my fourth at Kalamazoo Central High School. Before that, I taught for three years in my home town of Chicago, Illinois for an Alternative to Expulsion Academy. That experience truly helped to motivate me to be a truly dedicated teacher to my students. My undergraduate education took place at Iowa State University. There, I graduated with a degree in English-Education with an endorsement in Reading. My graduate education took place at Western Michigan University in Educational Leadership. I just graduated in June of 2009 and cannot be more excited about that. This current school year, I will be teaching 9th Grade Recovery English and a class which supports students in 9th grade English. Although I enjoyed teaching Reading for the past three years, I am incredibly excited to be able to teach to my passion again, English Literature and Writing. I look forward to the many rewards these two classes will bring to me as well as to my students. Once again, I will also be the sponsor for the Yearbook Club. This is my fourth year in this role. I learn new ideas and ways to manage the club every year. I am eager to produce another great piece of work with the students. Lastly, I am a wife and mother, which makes me incredibly proud. I value and cherish my family time and I believe those moments help me to be a more compassionate educator. In short, I look forward to learning about all of my students and their families. I am always more than happy to help and assist in any way possible. I may be reached either via e-mail or telephone. E-mail address: bruwerkm@kalamazoo.k12.mi.us Phone: 269-337-0300 extension 480
