Teacher and Author, Dru Pearcy

Being an educator is difficult work, especially during a global pandemic. 

But when AIS East Teacher Dru Pearcy heard a challenge to turn the adversity of the pandemic into something that would bring light and hope into the world, she decided to write a book to encourage educators. Her feat of becoming a published author while continuing to invest herself into her students and colleagues over the last several months is impressive.

The Avon Board of School Trustees recognized Pearcy's work at their November 8 Board Meeting.

Congratulations, Mrs. Pearcy, for this outstanding accomplishment and for giving so much of yourself to encourage teachers who, like you, are making such a positive impact on our students' lives.
