Meet your Teacher!

Mr. Rhys

Hi!

I am a third-grade teacher here at Finger Lake Elementary. I graduated from the University of Alaska Southeast with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I student-taught here at Finger Lake and I am so glad I was able to call it home.

I live in Wasilla and enjoy spending time outside with my wife, 2 children, and dogs. I love hiking, camping, and enjoying the great big backyard of ALASKA!

In the summer, I work at Camp Gorsuch Scout Camp, teaching scouts outdoor skills.

I look forward to working with both my students and parents this year. If you ever have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call, email, or set up a time to come in and talk.
