From Kindergarten to 2nd Grade EA: Cheers to Ella German’s Next Big Chapter!

If you’ve spent any time in our 2nd-grade classrooms recently, you’ve likely seen Ella German in action—bringing high energy, helpful support, and plenty of smiles to Woodrow Wilson Academy.

Ella’s connection to WWA goes way back. Before she was helping guide our 2nd graders, she was actually walking these same halls as a kindergartener! After growing up as a Wildcat, she returned to WWA as an Educational Assistant, working right alongside some of the very educators who once taught her.

Now, Ella is getting ready to take her next major leap. This December, just before winter break, she will be stepping away from her EA role to focus full-time on her college coursework as she completes her degree in elementary education.Balancing busy college classes with classroom work is no small task, and while we will certainly miss having her on team WWA every day, we are fully cheering her on as she works toward running a classroom of her own.

During her time as an EA, Ella has been a fantastic asset to our students and staff—learning the ropes, picking up teaching strategies, and bringing a great positive spirit to the 2nd-grade team. WWA is where her passion for learning began, and seeing her develop into a future educator has been a total highlight for our school.

We want to extend a huge thank you to Ella for all her hard work, dedication, and energy. We wish her all the best as she finishes up her degree—and who knows? Once she graduates, her journey might bring her right back through our doors as a full-fledged classroom teacher!

Thank you, Ella, and good luck with your studies!

Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!
