I had the honor of experiencing the superb co-teaching of Mr. Gallus and Ms. Beeninga. Together they have created an engaging and fun learning environment. Every student succeeds in a co-taught class, including those who speak multiple languages.#PondPride #One91

Happy Black History Month @gideon_pond family. We had the chance to take a photo of our superintendent @DrTBattle next to her Black History poster when she came by to read to students. #One91 #PondPride #blackhistorymonth2023

We love to see our @gideon_pond teachers share their passion and talents. The school as a whole and our classrooms are community spaces. Our teachers are intentional and they are the BEST! #PondPride

I love my Somali people and language. I'm determined to re-learn my mother tongue since I now recognize and value the benefits of being bilingual. I am fortunate to have the chance to instill confidence in my students so that they can be equally proud of their multilingualism.

The best part about teaching in 2022 is when my students come into my classroom and say “Hey Bestie!”

Our incredible principal @gideon_pond @MrsBuchanan191 has been nothing but a strong & supportive leader. She leads by example and is always present in classrooms, hallways, answering phones in the office, etc. I couldn’t feel more lucky to have her at the helm of our school!
