Welcome to GT!

My name is Cheryl Zalk and I am the Gifted and Talented Facilitator at Cooper Elementary and San Gabriel Elementary. 

I am originally from Michigan and have been in Texas for eleven years. 

This is my sixth year as the Gifted and Talented Facilitator at Cooper and my ninth year in education. I LOVE every minute of spending my days with these amazing kiddos!

On a more personal note, I am the mother of two wonderful "kids" (they are all grown up now)  and one sassy cat (Siamese mix) named Simba. I am a huge University of Michigan  football fan. GO BLUE! I also cheer on the Detroit Lions (football) and Red Wings (hockey) every chance I get.

I am always available to talk about your student and what is happening in class. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime through an email or a phone call. I am so excited for the coming school year.
