Gina Van Ginkel may be the only Bryan County Schools employee who can teach pre-kindergarteners their colors and letters and, at the same time, how to do a high wire trapeze act. The McAllister Elementary School teacher graduated high among her peers at the Trapeze High Academy in Jacksonville. She is a military spouse and Iowa native whose husband, Matt, is a 16-year veteran, currently serving in the Coast Guard, with prior Army service.
