THIRD GRADE:

Meet the Teachers

Hannah Ausmus

This will be my fourth year at Legacy Point and teaching Third Grade! I am a Colorado native and grew up in Douglas County, so I am beyond excited to continue to be a part of the LPE family in this special town I called home for so many years. I attended The University of Colorado (Sko Buffs!) and loved every minute of it. I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and a Minor in Leadership Studies through our School of Education. In addition, I have completed a continuing education program through CU Denver specifically in Elementary Education. When I am not planning to meet this next wonderful Third Grade class, I love to travel, read as many books as my Kindle will hold, go golfing with my husband, explore with my Bernedoodle, Sherman, and spend quality time with my family and friends!

This is my second year at Legacy Point and my third year teaching! While I am a Colorado native, I graduated from the University of Wyoming with my bachelor’s in Elementary Education. Go Pokes! I also did an internship abroad teaching English in Belgium which gave me a concentration in International Education. Because of that experience, traveling is one of my favorite hobbies. Some of my other hobbies are reading, hiking with my husband, and spending time with my loved ones. I am so excited to start this school year and begin this wonderful educational journey with you all!

I am in my 20th year teaching, and my 5th year at Legacy Point Elementary. My family and I moved to Colorado from Virginia 4 years ago when my husband’s job transferred him to Denver. I have a daughter, Emma, who will be in 4th grade at LPE, and a son, Jack, who will be in 1st grade at LPE. We love Colorado and being a part of the LPE family. Along with the last 4 years teaching 3rd grade here at LPE, I taught 6 years in Virginia and 9 years before that in Oklahoma. I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. One of my favorite things to do is to spend time with my family. We enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and snowboarding (skiing for the kids). Along with exploring the mountains, we also enjoy beach vacations as well!
