Jennifer Golminas is another one of our newest teachers in the science department, but she might seem a bit familiar to some of you as she is returning for a second teaching stint here at Waubonsie Valley. She also spent some time here last year working with Terry Wister in the ELL department. If you have worked with her in the past please be sure to welcome her back and if you have not yet met Jennifer, please be sure to introduce yourself to her.
