Howdy Y’all! I’m a recent transplant to Benzie County, up from the great state of Texas. If you are wondering why I made the jump from life above 100 degrees to life below zero, you can blame that on my husband Jim Gillison. After a 5+ year, 1200 mile friendship we decided what we had was so great that we had to make it permanent. My 88 year old mother made the move with me but I still have Texas connections, as my three adult children still live in the DFW area.
I currently serve this district as the high school librarian, the online learning supervisor, and the ISS supervisor for both HS and MS. In Texas terms, I lived “smack dab” in the heart of the DFW Metroplex, and I taught in a massive 6A High School. I have to say I have really enjoyed my transition from big city life to being a part of this small rural community and school district.
Texas may be BIGGER, but Benzie does it BETTER!
