It was wonderful seeing so many of you for Curriculum Night. For those who could not attend look inside your student’s Take Home Folder for classroom information. Please note the enclosed information that volunteers will be asked to fill out a Volunteer COVID Vaccination Attestation   form. We will be asking for classroom volunteers beginning in  October. The school has many opportunities to volunteer right now! Check out the options here.

I received my initial certification in Special Education/Elementary Education from Western Washington University. I hold a Montessori Degree from Northwest Montessori school and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction: Reading and Writing from Lesley University. I began my teaching career with a variety of classroom positions and joined the St John faculty in 1990 as a Kindergarten teacher. I later moved to 2nd grade, then to middle school where for the past 10 years I have taught a variety of subjects most currently as 8th grade homeroom and middle school religion teacher. Last year I asked to move to 4th grade, a grade I have never taught before. I am a native Seattleite growing up in the Wedgewood neighborhood and attending OLL and Blanchet high school. I am a wife, mother of 3 adult daughters, and one granddaughter. What I love most about teaching is experiencing the joy that learning brings to my students.
