Join me in Welcoming Brandy Ashby to TGS!
Hi TGS! My name is Brandy Ashby and I’m so excited to join this school. This will be my 10th school year as a paraprofessional working in education. My passion is showing so much love to my students and helping them succeed in all areas of schooling.
I live in Rantoul with my significant other and have three sons that I love dearly. We have two dogs that keep us busy!
In my spare time I enjoy fishing, reading, being in nature and hanging out with friends. I absolutely love the beach and traveling to new places. Exploring is one thing I love to do in life!
I am excited to start this new chapter of life and add a little splash of love and excitement to TGS! Can’t wait to meet new co-workers and love on some new students ❤️
