Sara Gaechter
Hello! My name is Sara Gaechter, and I am very excited to inform you that I am your scholar’s new Art Teacher at KIPP Empower Academy. I believe that mutual understanding and open communication between families and teachers is crucial for student learning, so first, I’d like to tell you a little bit about my background and myself.
I grew up in a very small town outside of New Haven, Connecticut to a family of teachers. Education has always been a huge focus in my life, and growing up I often sought out te ... read moreaching and leadership roles. As a teenager I worked as a dance teacher and choreographer for a theater company and that was when I truly fell in love with teaching. My passion for the arts and the teaching profession have only grown stronger over the years, and I am proud to say that in May 2015, I graduated from Ithaca College in Upstate New York, with a B.A. in Art Education and a minor in Art History. Directly after graduation, I moved here to Los Angeles, and am very excited to be able to live in and get to know the city.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with and learn from your children this year. I have many exciting things planned for the students and community, and am looking forward to seeing how far we can push our KEA student artists, with your help. I invite you to reach out to me and become involved, in any capacity, with the art program this year at KEA.
One way to keep involved with the KEA art classes this year is through social media. Students will be documenting their own artwork on both Twitter and Instagram, and you can follow the accounts by searching for @time4artclass on both platforms.
Should you have any comments or questions regarding your child’s art education please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached by email at any time at sgaechter@kippla.org, or by phone between the hours of 7:00am-6:00pm, at my mobile work phone: (323)-496-7040.
