New Faculty Features: World Languages
Meet incoming Upper School World Language faculty members Chris Godas, Sandra Nelson and Rachel Ruddick.

Sandra Nelson brings a global experience to the classroom
Nelson used curious (curieuse), adventurous (aventurière), and literary (littēraire) to describe herself.

German teacher Rachel Ruddick shares her enjoyment of outdoor activities
“I like going biking, and I biked along the Mississippi River when I [first] came here. I [also] swam across the river, and I just think it’s cool that there [are also] so many lakes around. I’m not a great swimmer or biker, actually, but I like to find a bunch of different ways to do these things for fun,” Ruddick said.

Chinese teacher Chris Godas shares his love for language, comedy, drawing and more
Chris Godas had already filled up his passport before this fall, but he decided to come teach at SPA anyway.
