Here is what Mrs. Stoor said about Teagun:
"Teagun is the best Teacher Assistant ever! She is the Equipment Engineer Extraordinaire! She was able to put together all the new Fuel Up to Play 60 equipment, some without any directions...Volleyball net, Spike ball, Frisbee Basket, 9 square, Football net, Kan Jam and Corn Hole boards. She mends tennis nets, racquets and anything else that needs fixed. I really appreciate having Teagun. She is amazing!"
