As many may know, Ms. Schaefer has recently returned to CMS West! To celebrate her return, we interviewed her on her experience as an art teacher here at West. Welcome back, Ms. Schaefer! Congratulations on your baby girl. Us students at West are thrilled to have you back. Lots of love to your little one! 1. How do you feel about being back at CMSW? It feels great to be back at CMS West! It was naturally a little bittersweet to have to give up so much time with my daughter, Wanetha, but I was ready to get back in the groove. 2. What inspired you to pursue art as your career? I have always been into Art! When I was younger I took classes at a little school in Old Coppell called the Art Annex. Once I was old enough, the owner hired me to help out. She remains a good friend to this day and her love of art and desire to share the beauty of the artistic process with her students definitely influenced me to carry on the tradition.
