Mrs. Link

Welcome to Gifted and Talented at Willow Creek Elementary!



My family - daughter Jenna, husband Jeff, and my son, Joey.

I am so lucky to be at Willow Creek as the Gifted and Talented Specialist. I have taught in the regular classroom in grades 2, 3 & 4, math specialist grades K-5 and now in GT. Willow Creek is a special community and I love working here!

I hold a bachelor's degree from CU Boulder in English and Elementary Education. My master's degree is from University of Northern Colorado in Gifted Education. I also hold an endorsement from the state of Colorado in Gifted Education.

If you wish to reach me, you can call my direct line at 720-554-3992 - although it will go straight to voicemail during school hours.

You may also email me at mlink3@cherrycreekschools.org

Persistence

Optimism

We are flexible

Empathy
