The fourth installment in the Alumni Association’s “A Conversation With...” series on March 8, featured Alumni Association president Josh Thomas ’06 and prekindergarten teacher Amy Thomas Drummond ’93.
After describing her journey from McDonogh to pursuing a master's degree in French language and civilization, to becoming a member of the McDonogh faculty, Amy shared the challenges and rewards of teaching McDonogh’s littlest Eagles both pre-and mid-pandemic. She said she strives to get her students excited about being in the classroom every day, noting, “It sets them up for a life of learning.” And, she has done just that during her six years as a faculty member at her alma mater.
Looking back to the early days of COVID, Amy sees how far she, her colleagues, and students have come. She recalled the challenges that virtual learning and social distancing presented and said she is impressed with how everyone jumped into the unknown, embraced it, and emerged with new tools in their belts. “We thrived as a community, continued to learn, to grow, and to discover,” she said.
