MMC met Ms. Fried 13 years ago when she was a sixth-grade student at Mar Vista Avenue Elementary School. Her mother, a pre-kindergarten teacher at Grand View Elementary School, nurtured her daughter’s love of teaching by encouraging her to become a teacher.
Ms. Fried graduated from Loyola Marymount University three years ago and has been a third-grade teacher at Shenandoah Street Elementary School since that time.
On a special visit to her class, MMC saw how her students' love of learning was an honest reflection of her dedication to teaching. The students’ enthusiasm for learning shined with every answer they gave to the math challenges we presented them with.
This year Mike’s Math Club would like to welcome our former student as one of our teachers. MMC is excited to meet Ms. Fried’s students and can’t wait to start building memories with them. We might even share a tale or two about Ms. Fried as a sixth grader.
