Teacher Bio

IMG_8702

Hello! My name is Ms. Getz and I am on my eleventh year teaching, my sixth year at Cheatham. I moved to Arizona from Illinois in 2013 and love it! I love to go hiking, read, play soccer, and enjoy the easy winters. I love to watch sports, especially hockey, baseball, football, and soccer! I am and will always be a Chicago Sports fan. I watch DA BEARS every Football Sunday (or Thursday, or Monday). I play soccer on the weekends and love to play with the kiddos at recess! My favorite book series are My Weird School and Junie B Jones. Below is a little about my teaching career:
