A Graduate from Andie's New Gig...

Andie landed a new teaching position for the 2010-2011 school year. Yesterday was her first day at Sunnyvale Middle School. Go Andie!

Sometimes you never know what will become of the students you teach. When I taught Seminary in Boston I was thrilled when I learned that one of my students, Christine Cutler, was awarded the Ezra Taft Benson Scholarship at BYU.

Well, it turns out that the school where Andie will be working has a celebrity alum. Apparently, Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives went to Sunnyvale Middle School! Who knew?

I'm not really an expert on Hatcher but happened upon the information while searching for a google image of Andie's new school and a picture of Teri Hatcher popped up.

The bio I read on Hatcher said that Teri: "grew up in Sunnyvale, California. An only child, she attended Mango Middle School (now Sunnyvale Middle School), Fremont High School in Sunnyvale and De Anza College in Cupertino."

I remember Krista Lynch said that she had gone to high school with Teri Hatcher in Sunnyvale so maybe Krista also went to Mango, the former name of Andie's new school. And, too bad they changed the school name; Mango Middle School has a nice ring to it.

Now, when Andie is teaching her new pupils she'll have to remember that it wasn't too many years ago when another Sunnyvale Middle School Teacher had a little gal named Teri in her class! Maybe Andie will come across a library book with Teri Hatcher's name in it!

And, who knows what any of Andie's students might become one day? Hopefully not another Desperate Housewife; not that I have anything against that exactly. Teri (aka Susan on the show) was definitely the funniest of the housewives back before the show seemed to lose it's luster.
