Hello there! My name is Ambre Maurer and this will be my first year at Bush Middle School teaching 8th grade ELAR. Before Bush, I taught 9th grade English at a highschool here in San Antonio. I am a Texas State University graduate and the first in my family to graduate college.

Outside of school, I love to go hiking, kayaking, or any activity that allows me to get outside, although I also enjoy binge-watching a good TV series. I am a HUGE animal lover. My two cats, River and Hank, and my dog, Rowdy, are my babies! I enjoy reading in my free time, and my all-time favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. I am also currently pursuing a Master's degree in Speech and Language Pathology!

I am so excited to get to know more about all of my students this year and share my passion for reading and writing! :)
