Fea tu r e s Meet Our New Speech Teacher By: Daric F. and Kent S.

Mrs. Wagner grew up in Poughkeepsie, NY but lives in North Tonawanda, NY with a dog named Bear. Thought she said, "I’d like to move down" closer to Gow. She still has family in Poughkeepsie and North Tonawanda. From a young age, Mrs. Wagner said that she always new that she wanted to work with people and to help people. After high school, Mrs. Wagner attended Buffalo State where she earned her undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Science. She recently graduated in May from the University at Buffalo with her masters degree in Speech Language Pathology. Prior to working here, she jumped around to different schools helping out with speech. When Ms. Vinciguerra left Gow, Mrs. Wagner was sent by the Buffalo Hearing and Speech Center to help as a speech teacher here. This was the first time that Mrs. Wagner had ever heard about The Gow School. When she read up on it, she thought it was so cool how "great the school’s mission is, and that you guys are getting specialized services to help you do the best in the future." Ever since Mrs. Wagner arrived at Gow, she said that "it has been great and a smooth transition." So far the best part of Mrs. Wagner's day has been the in-person therapy and being able to work in speech class face-to-face. Mrs. Wagner is a fan of the film company A24, they produce movies like Midsommar and Moonlight and her favorite book of all time is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. In high school, Mrs. Wagner was on the crew team and continued to do that in collage getting all the way up to division one in crew. Welcome to Gow, Mrs. Wagner!
