Aroundptown.com is excited to announce beginning today Erie will have a correspondent dedicated to reporting Erie news and happenings.
Amy Achs, an English Language Arts teacher at Erie Middle School, will be covering city government, school district, and other community events. An Erie native, Amy will bring reporting that has been lacking in the Erie community for sometime.
Amy has written a short article introducing herself and giving a brief history of her Erie roots.
Hello! I am excited to be working with AroundPtown.com to share Erie community news and events. I grew up in Erie (as did my parents (Ron & Janet Vail) and my grandparents (Ira & Marian Schaeffer) before moving on to attend Northern Illinois University in DeKalb where I earned a K-8 teaching degree.
After living in downtown Chicago for a short time, I moved to Idaho for fourteen years where I started my family, raising three beautiful girls, returning back to Erie in 2007. I have been the sixth grade English Language Arts teacher at Erie Middle School for the last thirteen years.
I believe in small town living and am proud of my rural, farm-town heritage. My goal is to get the word out about the great things that are happening in our communities and schools. The more you know, the more you can get involved, and the more people who are involved, the better our community is for everyone.
Please feel free to reach out to me with information about Erie area news and events.
Looking forward to hearing from you, Amy Vail Achs
