We’re back with another GDS Teacher Check In and tonight we’re checking in with English and Theatre teacher David Zimmerman! Our theme for the night is teachers who impacted us and David said that his High School band teacher made a huge impact on him because he knew that it wasn’t just what you do in the classroom that makes you a great student. If you know a teacher you think we should check in with, send us an email at gds@fox39.com!
