Hello!
My name is Liezel Curiba. I am from Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.
I have been a certified elementary teacher for 15 years. My love for teaching kids drew me to Tukurngailnguq School. I am glad and honored to be the school's new kindergarten teacher. I am quite excited since this is going to be my first time teaching outside my home country.
I graduated from Bukidnon State University in Malaybalay City, Philippines with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in April of 2005. I am currently planning on completing my master’s degree in Early Childhood Education.
My hobbies and interests include dancing, trekking, drawing, doing arts and crafts, reading inspirational books, as well as watching movies and television series.
I am so delighted to meet everyone and become a great addition to the team. I am looking forward to experiencing a great culture and living in a lovely community.
I am from Stebbins, and this year makes 12 years that I’ve been working at our school.
My first job out of high school was as a cashier over at the native store. After having Keith, I then started working at the laundry mat for a few months. Then I started working here.
I love working with the little ones in Kindergarten. I love to see what they learn throughout the year. I love how they are always happy to see me -- anywhere. They are fun to work with and sometimes can say the cutest things!
When I’m not working, I love to be outdoors doing whatever, from picking berries, looking for live game such as geese, reindeer, moose, or during the winter even go and haul logs/wood.
Just as every year, I look forward to all the little new faces and to watch and see their progress as they learn.
I am from Stebbins, Alaska. I’m a former student here; I graduated last May.
I like working here because I like watching the students grow and become our future leadership.
When I am not at work, I sleep in! I spend time with my family members or walking around with my friends.
This will be my first year as an aide. It will be interesting to see how the teachers and students deal with the virus that is going on now.
