Hello! My name is Beth Higgins and this will be my fourteenth year teaching. I received my Bachelor's degree from Lindenwood College, located in St. Charles, Missouri. My first three years of teaching were spent teaching 3rd grade. I have spent the last ten years working with 5th grade students. This will be my 3rd year at Sage Canyon Elementary. I must say, working with kids brings me great joy, and I absolutely love the ah-ha moments that occur to students as they learn something new.

I grew up in Arizona, yet have lived in Wyoming, Montana, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, and now Colorado. Colorado is by far the best state of all! I moved here 3 years ago and I absolutely love it here! Aside from teaching, I have been married for the past 29 years to Jody. He has been an engineer for Boeing for the past 30 years. Together, we have two grown children. Connor is a pilot flying for SkyWest, and Kylie is a college student prepping for her future. Finally, we have a 13 year old Leonberger mix named Maverick. He keeps watch over our yard to ensure that the deer stay away! He takes this job a little too seriously!

When not teaching, I love playing games, going on nature walks, heading to the mountains, watching movies, and just spending time with my family and friends. I am looking forward to getting to know your kids and finding out what motivates them and what they like to do for fun!

Throughout the school year, I will send weekly emails about our classroom adventures. I am also available through email with any additional questions that may arise. I can't wait for a great year ahead!
