2020-2021 Teacher of the Year

Hi there, my name is Gina Gilcher. I have been teaching for 18 years and this is my 6th year at Jefferson Elementary. I have taught both 4K and Kindergarten.

I am married and have two children of my own. Emily is in 2nd grade and Alex is in 10th. I have a dog named Bayley and a cat named Rowdy.

I love being a teacher and spending my days with children. I look forward to the next year and getting to know you and your child.

My name is Michelle Theriot , I am a 4K assistant here at Jefferson Elementary. I enjoy working with our students teaching them new things and experiencing things for the first time through their eyes! I have been married to my husband for 21 years and we have 2 boys together. Ian is 16 and Blake is 8. I enjoy spending time with my family and making memories with them when I'm not at school. Campfires are a great way to spend my time!🙂

My name is Anna Godshall and I am so excited to start another school year in 4K! Getting to watch these little minds learn and grow is such an honor. I just love watching their faces light up when they grasp a new concept or skill. I grew up in York and attended York School District One myself. I have one amazing son who will be a second grader this year. This will be my 3rd year working as an assistant at Jefferson. In my spare time, I love hanging out with my family outdoors and playing games, reading with my kiddo, and cooking.
