Jonathan Law is happy to welcome Mrs. Spicer to the science department.
Spicer said her first two weeks at Law have been great.
“My favorite part is the fantastic students,” Spicer said. “It’s also clear that all the adults here at Law care a lot about students’ success.”
Spicer has been impressed by the welcoming community and how much everyone – students and staff alike – cares about learning and growth. As the year begins, she is most excited about challenging her students and watching them grow.
“I am looking forward to my students finding fulfillment in being challenged,” she said.
Spicer wants her classroom to be a place where students feel good about taking on tough subjects and pushing themselves further. She chose to teach physics, astronomy, and meteorology because of her lifelong passion for science.
“I have always loved science,” Spicer said. “I enjoy being challenged and guiding others through learning difficult ideas. Science is our way of trying to understand the world, and I love that it is based on facts and stays true over time.”
Principal Mr. Darcy is also excited to have Spicer join the Jonathan Law community.
“Mrs. Spicer has taught for several years,” Darcy said. “She has high standards and expectations for all of her students. I’m excited about her joining our staff. She showed a lot of positivity and passion for science during the interview process, and I know she will share that with her students.”
Spicer’s involvement doesn’t stop in the classroom; she is also eager to be part of school life beyond teaching. She is planning to attend many school sports events like soccer games, gymnastics meets, swimming competitions, and football games.
“I will absolutely make a football game to see both the game and the cheerleaders,” Spicer said.
Outside of teaching, Spicer is a busy mom of two daughters, ages six and three.
“They are awesome,” Spicer said.
Spicer loves spending time with her kids, and loves cooking, baking, gardening, and enjoying the outdoors.
Senior Brayden Dollar is in Spicer’s Astronomy class.
“I’m really excited for this year and for her teaching,” Dollar said. “I can’t wait to learn more about Astronomy.”
