Hi! My name is Amy Mihalich and I am a kindergarten teacher. I graduated from Ball State University! This is my 13th year in education and 6th year at the ELC. I sponsor the Garden Club and Construction Club. I have a son, Ian, who is in pre-school this year! Some of my favorite things are being outside, riding my bike, house plants, eating fried foods and listening to hip hop music.

Hey y’all! I’m Mrs. Galbreath and this is my first year at the ELC! Just like many of you! I am

in Room 11- the Fox Room which is in the green zone (my favorite color). I have taught

Kindergarten for 10 of my 12 years as a teacher, and I just LOVE it! I just moved back to NWI

after having lived in Florida for the past 10 years and I am so excited to be part of the

Brickie community!

My husband Paul and I have three adult children; Alex, Vanessa, and Cori! We also have

three cats; Alfredo, Parmigiano, and Reggiano. I love spending time with my family and

making things with my Cricut. I also love going on weekend adventures with my husband.

But my most favorite thing to do is to walk the beach at the Indiana Dunes early in the

morning.

I can’t wait for us to have our own little adventures at school this year! Kindergarten ROCKS

<3 Mrs. Galbreath
