Hey! That's me! :)

Hello! I am so excited to teach 1st and 2nd grades again this year! This is my 3rd year at Silverton Christian School, and my 5th year teaching.
I am looking forward to getting to know my students and their families better, but for now here's a little bit about me: I grew up in Southern California. I absolutely LOVE Disney -- I even worked at Disneyland! I moved to Oregon in 2010, and made Silverton my home in March 2014. I love it here so much, I bought a house! I have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Music from Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, CA and a Master of Arts in Teaching from George Fox University in Newberg, OR. I also have an ESOL endorsement. Music plays a major role in my life. I have been playing the clarinet for 17 years, and I currently play in the Marion County Citizen's Band. I also play piano, guitar, and handbells. I love to incorporate music in my classroom, so don't be surprised if your child comes home singing songs we learned in class! Other hobbies I enjoy are reading, baking, and volunteering with youth through church. I lead the Bible Quiz program at Silverton Friends Church (SFC) with my sister, and we also host Youth Coffee Fellowship on Sunday mornings for youth from SFC at Main St. Bistro in Silverton. I have also volunteered as a counselor at Twin Rocks Friends Camp in Rockaway Beach, OR for the last two summers and at Quaker Hill Camp in McCall, ID this past summer. Some of My Favorites: *For the classroom-whiteboard markers, “Mavalus” tape, sticky notes, pencils, cleaning wipes (such as Clorox or Lysol) *Restaurants-Red Robin, Chipotle, Main St. Bistro, Starbucks, Dutch Bros. *Places-Target, Learning Palace, Staples *"Day Savers"-Coffee and Dr. Pepper *Color-Purple (lime green and teal aren't far behind) *Animal-giraffe (Also my dog, Maggie, and my cats Austen and Topanga) *Sport-baseball *Team-Angels (baseball) ****I am also gluten intolerant, so I eat gluten free. ;) |
