Suzy Ebalo
Beginning School Assistant Teacher, BGS/K Cluster Chair
Suzy Ebalo teaches in the Beginning School. Her favorite project is the Rainbow Crow play her pre-kindergarten students stage every year around Thanksgiving. As the kids make totem poles for the play, Suzy constantly reassures them she’s okay after she burns herself repeatedly with the hot glue gun.
Ebalo particularly loves teaching students to read. “I hope they come away from their first school experience finding it memorable,” she says. “I hope it is a positive experience they can talk about when they’re 42.”
Ebalo holds a bachelors degree from the University of Iowa. She joined the Charles Wright faculty in 2002. She helps lead the Lower School running club and serves as the faculty cluster chair for the Beginning School, kindergarten, first and second grades.
Once upon a time, she worked at the John Ball Zoo in Michigan where she learned that she doesn’t mind snakes, but is a little bit scared of owls. She has a dog named Lucy, a hamster named Limblee Gilbert, and turtle with the name Speedy...what else!
