    		 Gabby Bailey

     Hi there!  My name is Gabriella Bailey and this will be my second year at Vickery Creek Elementary. I moved to Georgia from Orlando, Florida. I attended Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida. When I'm not at school, I enjoy making memories with my family and friends. I also absolutely love spending time with my husband and all of our animals. We currently have dogs, goats, chickens, turkeys, and a goose. They keep us pretty busy! I'm so excited for a wonderful year in 5th grade!!

    I have been in education for 28 years. I have taught all grade levels K-5. I have had the pleasure of teaching at VCE for 17 years. I attended Georgia Southern University and have a degree in Early Childhood Education. I am married with three daughters, ages 24, 22, and 17 years. I love to laugh and have fun with friends and family. Some may say I love to talk which is very true as well as telling stories. School and being a teacher is my hobby, my passion, my life.

     Greetings Vikings! I am so excited to begin another school year teaching 5th grade at Vickery Creek Elementary.  I have experience teaching all grades from Pre-K through 6th grade, but fifth graders are my absolute favorite! I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from SUNY Brockport (1998) and a Master's degree in Elementary Education from D’Youville College (2000) in Buffalo, NY.  I am happily married to my college sweetheart and we have two fantastic daughters - Lily, 17, and Ayla, 15. Lily will begin her studies in International Business this Fall at GSU Honor's College.  Ayla will return to Milton High School as a sophomore. We also have 3 adorable fur babies- two sweet little rescue dogs, Max and Ruby, and Alex, our cat. I love the beach, reading, dancing, cooking and traveling to new places. I am looking forward to a wonderful school year!

       LaDonna Szatkowski
     My name is Mrs. Szatkowski (zat-kow-ski) the ‘S’ is silent, therefore, the students call me Mrs. Z for short.  This is my 10th year at Vickery Creek, and I am excited to teach 5th grade math and science this year. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching from Liberty University and a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Cal State.  I am married to my high school sweetheart and best friend, Paul. We have three grown children, two daughters-in-law, two beautiful grandchildren, and a dog and cat to round out our family. I enjoy time with family and friends, volunteering at my church, traveling, reading, and spending time at the lake.  I look forward to working with my students to encourage and inspire them to question, discover, and have a love for learning.
