New Board Member

Hello! My name is Jessica and I am new to the board and will be leading the Education Committee.  I have worked in early childhood for 25 years and am the director of The Goddard School in south Austin.  I have co-written Thrifty Teacher’s Guide to Creative Learning Centers, a resource book for preschool teachers. Our book focuses on collecting, reusing, and repurposing items to create inexpensive materials for the classroom.  I have a theory that you can make ANYTHING out of cardboard and/or recycled materials!  Games, activities, pirate ships, costumes, props, etc. You name it, I can make it!

I look forward to working with Austin Creative Reuse and the education community.
