Hi, I'm Reeda Gartrell and this is my third year teaching 5th grade at Alcott. I am teaching math, science, and grammar to my homeroom and math and science to Ms. A. Thompson's homeroom.

I taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math intervention for three years at Annehurst Elementary. I was an ESL para-professional at Walnut Springs Middle School for three years before going to Annehurst. I was also a substitute teacher in Westerville.

I am married to Stuart, who is employed with the State of Ohio.  We have four children: Stuart, a P.E. teacher and Athletic Director at Walnut Springs Middle School, Ryan, a financial analyst in Worthington is married to Erin who is studying to be a nurse, Ella,a dental hygienist, and Leslie, who is a freshman at Columbus State.
