I am Mandy Ficker. I taught at Pleasant Grove Junior from 2001-2008. I started teaching here again in 2016 because I love it here so much. I have 4 kids ranging in age from 13 to 7. When I am not playing mom or teacher, I love to run. I love math and US history and am excited to teach both this year.
