I was blessed to join the Gretna School District 8 years ago and feel so lucky to be a part of an AMAZING district. I am excited to start my 3rd year at Falling Waters Elementary and was previously at Whitetail Elementary. I have been teaching for 23 years and started my career with Omaha Public School district. My heart and soul is in Kindergarten, which is where I have spent the last 20 years. I received my Bachelor of Science degrees in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education from College of St. Mary in Omaha, NE. 

I have two boys, ages 18 and 16, and we live in Millard. I am a total sports mom/aunt. My oldest is off to college this year and my youngest just got his driver's license. We have 2 small dogs. Riley, is a cockatier and Sophie is a cavapoo. We adore the girls and they certainly add the extra spice to our family! 

I truly LOVE teaching children and look forward to watching this year's class grow as learners.   -- Alison Traubel
