¡Hola todos! My name is Mrs. Mertes. My role at FRGMS this year will be Spanish for grades 7-8 and ESL for grades 5-8. This will be my 5th year as a classroom teacher, and I have also worked as a Bilingual Paraprofessional and a K-12 tutor. I believe that Bilingualism is a superpower. A few fun facts about me: I started learning Spanish in middle school and continued taking classes throughout college. I have a Master's Degree in Curriculum & Instruction. My family includes my husband, our 2 sons, and our 2 dogs. We love camping in Door County, WI and just enjoying the outdoors in general. I'm thrilled to share my passion for the Spanish language and English as a second language with my students this school year! #WeareFRG
Welcome, Bridgot Loesch! I am excited to be joining the FRGMS community as a literacy specialist. I live not too far from here in Libertyville with my husband and son who is just entering his senior year (Pictured with me climbing the steepest street in the world!). College visits have been great so far. I feel so privileged to be working with the kids in this community and am excited to learn and grow with them.
My name is Mallory Rico, and this is my first year at FRGMS. I will be teaching STEM and 7th grade science. I graduated from Illinois State University, and I have previously taught both social studies at science in Cary. I live in this amazing town of Fox River Grove with my husband and two girls. Our family shares a love of music and my girls and I love Taylor Swift. #WeareFRG

My name is Amy Erickson. I am one of the new literacy specialists at ARS. I previously taught 4th grade for 6 years and 3rd grade for three years before I decided to make the shift to stay home with my children. My husband and I have three children, Jack (10), Lila (9), and Crew (7). We live in Crystal Lake and enjoy boating and traveling together as a family. Our children keep us very busy with their sports/activities, but in my free time I enjoy exercising, cooking, and reading. I look forward to being back in education and working in Fox River Grove District 3! #WeareFRG
