Hello! My name is August Galloway. Welcome to my Mesabi East webpage.
I have been teaching at Mesabi East, in Aurora, MN, since January 2014, with the Special Education Department and now also teaching the REACH program. My first experience in Northern MN was October 1989, canoeing in the BWCA. I fell in love with the area and promised myself to move as soon as possible. In May of 1993 I moved to Ely and have lived in the Iron Range area ever since. My husband and I moved to Markham in 1999 with a team of sled dogs, although presently we only have two daughters, one dog, one gecko, two guinea pigs and various numbers of fish. I believe life is an adventure, and I enjoy sparking interest in exploration, setting goals, and finding ways of overcoming barriers in student's academic, behavioral and social lives. I have worked with adolescents for over 20 years, and their strength, wisdom and abilities never cease to amaze me. Being a teacher is my dream job and I look forward to another year taking part in the learning adventure with my students. |
