My name is Jaqueline McHale.  I am the Bilingual Specialist and AVID Coordinator at Christie Elementary. I have lived in Plano for 25 years now.  I am blessed with two amazind kids of my own who bring joy to my life everyday.  I have always had a passion for supporting students and helping them reach success in ALL areas of their lives. Being bilingual has provided me with the tools to connect and assist second language learners in my school community. I am extremely enthusiastic for this academic school year. I love to read, spend quality time with family and friends, work on my herb garden, cook different foods,  and learn how to become a better educator.  I challenge myself everyday to inspire students and make them connect with the world around them.   I can't wait to see the wonderful connections students will make as they learn and explore new ideas and stories.
