Text Box: Ms. Teel We are so excited to have Ms. Teel back at Townsend! Ms. Teel has been working here at Townsend for over 14 years. Before she worked as a teacher, she worked as an attendance tech. Ms. Teel has also coached many sports for several years and is very involved at Townsend. Did you know her mom used to work at Townsend too as a nurse? Last year Ms. Teel was among the many TUSD employees that received a letter telling her she no longer had a job. She felt devastated when she got the pink slip. Many of her students were deeply upset to learn she was not coming back to Townsend. Ms. Teel felt ecstatic when Ms. Kohl brought her back to teach this year. Ms. Teel enjoys the new subjects she is teaching. The best thing to her about the school year so far is the kids. If she had the choice of picking any subject, it would be reading. Welcome Back Ms. Teel
