Only a few months out of university, Taylor Zerr is nervous but excited to start her first teaching job in Moose Jaw.

“I’m excited. I think it’s going to be super fun,” she said. “I was nervous to start because being in a new school and a new city, I was kind of unsure and a little hesitant, but the staff here has been amazing. So that’s really helped my transition for sure.”

Originally from Langenburg, Sask. – located about two hours southeast of Moose Jaw – Zerr’s mother grew up in Moose Jaw.

Tuesday will be Zerr’s first day teaching at Empire Community School in the Prairie South School Division (PSSD). It is also her first teaching job since graduating from the University of Saskatchewan in May.
