My name is Sue Gravina and I'm so excited to be joining the AKCS community!  I am originally from New Jersey but came to New Mexico 8 years ago and haven't looked back.  I love it here!  I have a B.A. in English from Emory University and received my Masters Degree in Education from Rutgers University.  I've spent an amazing 20 years teaching.  At first I focused on upper elementary but found I'm happiest working with middle schoolers.  It's been a great ride, and I'm looking forward to continuing it here at Alice King Community School!

 

In my spare time I love to travel and go hiking and kayaking.  I spent a year in Israel between high school and college, and I've been to France, England, and Spain.  I've also traveled all over the U.S. and love exploring National Parks & Monuments like Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde and Monument Valley.  Life is a great adventure!  My goal is to give my students a love of learning and reading and I also hope to inspire a desire to explore the world through history.
