Hi, I’m Allison DeWolf! I’ve been teaching kindergarten and first grade for 31 wonderful years. My journey began in the tiny town of Rocky Ford, Colorado, where I grew up on a cantaloupe farm. Some of my favorite memories come from that close-knit community where neighbors felt like family.

After high school, I attended Colorado State University and began my teaching career in 1993. In 2000, I earned my master’s degree in education with a focus on literacy development. Teaching young children how to learn and grow has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

I’ve been married for 30 years and have two amazing kids. My son lives in San Diego and works for a growth equity company helping software startups—when he’s not golfing or surfing! My daughter is graduating from Ole Miss this spring with a degree in psychology. She was a cheerleader all four years in college and won national D1 titles in her freshman and senior years. She plans to pursue her master’s in sports psychology this fall.

In my free time, I love going on adventures with my husband, especially cheering on our CSU Rams at football and basketball games. We also enjoy traveling to visit our kids whenever we can. Being both a teacher and a mom has given me a unique perspective that I bring to the classroom every day. I truly love what I do and feel incredibly lucky to be part of the lives of so many wonderful children and families.
