Hi! I’m Holly Verdon. This will be my second year as a fifth grade teacher at CES. I started my teaching journey at Western Michigan University. After graduation I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I taught fifth grade for 5 years before moving back to Michigan.
I grew up in Parchment and still live there today. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I also enjoy sports, cooking and crafting.
I look forward to our year together!
Hello! My name is Claire Grobbel and I am a WMU student, studying Early Childhood Education. I am so excited to be placed here at CES, in Holly Verdon’s 5th grade classroom, for my final Pre-Internship! I am originally from the Detroit area and moved to Kalamazoo to attend WMU. I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my fur-babies! I also love to hike, read, and cook in my free time. I am really looking forward to getting to know the students and helping them grow!
