About me...
My name is Ms. Orlowski, and I teach eighth grade English. I am a tried and true "Buckeye" as I hail from Ohio, but I moved down to Charlotte two years ago in order to be closer to family in the south. I taught seventh and eighth grade English for five years at a private, college-preparatory school, The Miami Valley School, in Dayton, Ohio, and then taught for two years at Community House Middle School in Ballantyne. I am thrilled to join the team here at Grier. This Weebly is designed for both parents and students to use in order to access homework assignments, online resources, and additional resources for enrichment. If you are absent or you miss class, check out the Homework page on this Weebly to complete the homework assigned that day.
