About Mrs. Cramond
My earliest artistic memory dates back to kindergarten in Southern California. We were outside for centers, and I recall the pure joy of holding a paintbrush, liberally "glopping" paint onto paper to create a picture of trees. That day, I was completely hooked on the arts and have embraced creativity ever since. Though I grew up in Southern California, I've spent the last 21 years living in Colorado.
The 2026-2027 school year is the start of my 20th year of teaching and I am happy to be a member of the Ranch View pack!
