New Teacher #3:
Miss Eisenga
2nd Grade
In Her Words:
My name is Maggie Eisenga and I graduated from Grand Valley State University with my bachelors in mathematics and elementary education in the spring of 2021. I am originally from a small farm town called McBain MI and it is also where I did my first year of teaching as a 2nd grade teacher as well as my student teaching where I was a long term 5th grade substitute. Teaching has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and I am excited to continue it at Swan Valley. I look forward to an amazing year with all of you!
