Knowing Mrs. Weisgerber is knowing someone who isn’t afraid to fail. People don’t remember you for your regrets; they remember you for what you did. Many teachers have stories from their profession, but sitting down with Mrs. Weisgerber you learn that she is more than just a teacher in this building. She finds peace in never understanding the meaning of uncomfortable. 

She balances teaching in the Fusion Academy and promoting hands-on learning . . .

But she wouldn’t be able to without taking the chance to major in something unrelated to her current career in teaching.

She takes risks.

She makes it a daily habit to run and walk to activate her mindset for the day . . . 

But she wouldn’t be able to without being a wellness mentor and promoting healthy patterns. 

She changes mindsets.

She opens a restaurant while she is teaching . . .

But she would not be able to without finding her exploring her passions in and out of the school building.

She finds growth.

She is a trusted adult in the building to many kids . . .

But she could not have done that without leading a service committee within the Fusion Academy and having a great understanding of empathy for people’s emotions.

She inspires.

It’s rare to find someone who takes risks like her.

She models the ability to build back from an unsuccessful idea — that makes her special!

While she highlights her success stories, every story has its breaking point. She shares her growth and students look up to as an inspiration of how to bounce back even if the first plan is a misfire.

People remember your actions, not your regrets.

She says it best: “Change is a part of life’s journey.”

To know Mrs. Weisgerber is to see how rewarding life can truly be if you are not afraid of failure.
