Meet the Staff<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/heading][image_with_animation animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]Do you ever wonder what exactly our front office staff does? We see them all the time yet we may not even know anything about what they do. We also don\u2019t probably know all of the work and effort the front office staff does without us even knowing. Here you can get to know one of them a little better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Petscher, but many of us may also know her as Mrs. Jennie. Mrs. Petscher’s job is athletic secretary, but since the school is so small she also does payroll. She has been working for Vigo County \u201cSchools\u201d for 30 years, but has been working at West Vigo High School for eight years. Mrs. Petscher’s favorite thing about her job is being able to get to know the students. One of the hardest things about her job is trying to keep up with all of the technology changes since it changes so often. One of the most important things she does is payroll which is very important to the rest of the school staff. The most rewarding thing for her is seeing students succeed and also being able to see some of the students she worked with in elementary school and now being able to see them graduate. Outside of school Mrs. Petscher enjoys spending time with her family and going for walks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to say hello to Mrs. Jennie when you see her at the front office! <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”9576″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]Photo of Mrs. Petscher, courtesy of Mrs. Petscher.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][heading subtitle=”By Emma Barbour- Morley”]\n

Meet Mrs. Anderson<\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]Mrs Anderson is an educational assistant for the special education department and is part time in <\/span>the office. She schedules conferences and enrolls and withdrawals students <\/span>for school. She loves her job very much. Mrs Anderson has three kids and eight <\/span>grandchildren. She loves spending time with them. She loves playing with <\/span>
her yorkie and loves baking in her spare time. Her favorite sports teams are West Vigo and the C<\/span>hicago Cubs. She likes watching softball and basketball. Her children are 40, 36,\u00a0 and her daughter passed away at 18 years old. <\/span>She has been doing her job for 29 years.\u00a0 Thanks for all you do, Mrs. Anderson!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][heading subtitle=”By: Red Bell”]Teacher Spotlight: Mrs. Lindsay[\/heading][vc_column_text]You may be very familiar with this teacher spotlight, Mrs. Lindsay! Mrs. Lindsay teaches Geometry, Algebra Lab, and Quantitative Reasoning. Last year she taught Algebra 1, and Algebra Lab. Mrs. Lindsay is also the freshman class sponsor, Spark sponsor, and Link Crew Coordinator. She\u2019s known to have a very busy schedule, but always makes time for her students when they need her help. Mrs. Lindsay has been teaching for 10 years, this year is her 5th year teaching at West Vigo High School. Mrs. Lindsay plans on teaching through retirement, which she\u2019s not sure when retirement will be for her, but she still has a long way to go. When Mrs. Lindsay started her career path, she started as a business major, and realized she wanted to work with a younger audience, which made her switch to an elementary major, she found this was too young of a group, and switched to teaching for high school math.\u00a0 Once she started teaching high schoolers, she found that\u2019s what she wanted, and has stuck to it. She went to North White High School in Monon, Indiana (her mascot was also a viking!) and North White Middle School which was connected to the high school, just like West Vigo.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Mrs. Lindsay views herself as a teacher that can explain well, but over-explain, which is not a bad thing, but she wants to find a middle ground so her students can think for themselves a bit more. Over-explaining is better than under-explaining. A word of advice from Mrs. Lindsay; teachers care more about your effort than how much you retain. Mrs. Lindsay states, and I quote, \u201cI don\u2019t care how much of what you learn in my class, I care about how you learn.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>
\n<\/span>I asked Mrs. Lindsay a few bonus questions for fun, just to know basic things about her outside of teaching;<\/span>
\n<\/span>Mrs. Lindsay’s favorite colors are purple and teal (as you can tell by her classroom). She enjoys Chinese food, and likes to listen to older music from when she was in middle school or high school. Mrs. Lindsay is also the mother of four kids, her oldest in his freshman year, and the youngest a toddler.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Mrs. Lindsay’s favorite quote:<\/span>
\n<\/span>If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.\u201d ~Wayne Dyer<\/span>
