Bio: I have had the joy of working with children since I was in middle school. I have taught fifth grade for 20 years. Seventeen of those years, here at Laurin. My high school son and middle school daughter keep my husband and I busy with their activities of dance, sewing, scouts, and robotics, just to name a few. In our free time we enjoy riding bikes, walking, baking, and spending time with friends. I can't think of anything else I would do, but teach. Children make me laugh and think constantly.

Bio: I’m a graduate of Eastern Washington University. I spent the years after college trying my hand at many different jobs. Several years ago I decided I wanted to work in education. Here at Laurin Middle School, I teach fifth-grade English Language Arts and History. I enjoy helping fifth-graders learn to be independent and succeed. When I’m not working, I enjoying reading, cooking, exploring the outdoors, working in the yard, and spending time with my wife and our one-year-old son.

Bio: I have been teaching 5th grade at Laurin for almost 20 years now! I love this school, and it’s our students and their families that make it such an incredible place. Connecting current learning to future success is my favorite part of teaching, and seeing my students grow into successful adults is awesome! I love teaching and seeing students learn Math, as it’s incredible to observe how they decide to solve problems and attack challenges. When not teaching, I love playing outside with my wife, our three children, and our trouble-making boxer dog Princess Buttercup. Cooking and eating also hold a great deal of interest to me, and I love to try foods from around the world. When on the island of Santorini, a local islander pointed at me and said “Greek!” and I decided it must be true, so I enjoy cooking Greek food in particular.
