Hello! My name is Michele Burnett and I’m excited to be starting my third year at Eagle Ridge this year as the Gifted Education Facilitator. I’m originally from Portland, Oregon, where I taught elementary school for several years before taking a few years off when my children were young. Our family moved to Colorado in 2011, and I spent ten years teaching 5th grade in Parker. I'm thrilled to be working with this population of students and their families at Eagle Ridge again this year. 

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in Gifted and Talented Education. When I’m not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband and I have two sons - Ryan, 23, is living and working in Cincinnati, and Grant, 21, who is a senior at Arizona State. I love to read, cook, and travel, and we are a basketball loving family. (Go Trail Blazers!) Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
