Favorite Sutter Memory: During my first year at Sutter, I lined up my fourth period class for a fire drill when the city alarm rang on the last Friday of the month. The alarm occurred every month at the same time and some students were familiar with this and snickered when I was trying to get my class out of the building.

Tammi, Jill
Science 8 / MESA / Study Skills

College Attended: Cal Berkeley
Years in Education: Since 1996
Favorite Sutter Memory: The very first teacher Air Rock show was sometime in the 90’s. We were the “Pretend Pretender’s” performing the song, “Middle of the Road.”  Ms. Bovy was the lead singer and Mr. Heckey surprised us by sliding onto the stage on his knees to perform the harmonica solo. Awesome. We knew it would be a Sutter tradition right away.
