This week, we shine our PES Educator Spotlight on Mrs. Anne Quidas! Mrs. Quidas teaches 4th and 5th grade Mathematics and 4th grade Science and Social Studies. Mrs. Quidas holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Maryland and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Johns Hopkins University. Mrs. Quidas also holds Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, and Middle School Math certification. Mrs. Quidas is also a member of our PES WellBeing and Belonging School Improvement Team. Mrs. Quidas plans to continue to positively impact as many minds and hearts as possible before my retirement. ! We are so thankful that Mrs. Quidas has made the Panther Pride Den her home! #PESEducators #PESPantherPride
