Hello! My name is Megan Garcia and I am excited to be your child’s 4th Grade teacher. This is my fifth year at Athlos Leadership Academy. I graduated from Augsburg University with a degree in Elementary Education. I have taught in Anoka Hennepin School District as a Reading Specialist, pre-kindergarten summer teacher. When I am not teaching I enjoy traveling, being outdoors, reading, being with son, Theo and my friends and family.
Learning is something I have always enjoyed and I always strive for greatness, I hope to be able to share this with your child. I'm excited to help shape your child as so many of my teachers helped my parents shape me into the person I am today. This upcoming school year will be an amazing journey which will include great educational and social experiences. Our classroom will be a place where students feel welcomed and safe. I am excited to get to know you and each of the 4th graders as we create a community in Room 109 this school year!
Mrs. Garcia

Dear Students and Families,
Athlos Leadership Academy families are asked to complete the application for free and reduced lunch benefits. Despite meals being free through June 2021, it is still very important that all families fill out an application for meal benefits. Qualifying for educational benefits means a student(s) will continue to have access to free breakfast and lunch, as well as provide critical funding for our school.
Please complete the attached application.
Applications can be returned in the following ways:
Applications must be completely filled out, signed, and dated in order to be processed. Feel free to call the front office at 763-777-8942 with any questions or if you need assistance with the form.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions!
