Meet the SSN team

Vicky Eggleston

 (Educational Assistant IV)


Hello! I’m excited for the 2023-24 school year—my third at Arrowwood Elementary as an Educational Assistant IV. I thoroughly enjoy working with our team and students here at AWE!


Originally from Ohio, I have a varied background, spending many years in academic, corporate and athletics settings. Over 15 years ago my job awesomely brought me to Colorado. I have a deep passion for AWE, as my children have grown up as Grizzlies.


Outside of work I enjoy music, reading, sports, the outdoors and family time with my husband Bryan, daughters Kelsey and Kylie, and our dog, Spike.

Denise Protho 

(Educational Assistant IV)


Hello Friends! 

My name is Denise Prothro and I work part-time with the SSN team.

I am originally from Houston, Texas and I moved to Colorado 8 years ago to help with my granddaughters. 

I went to college in my 30’s and enjoyed teaching elementary aged children for 25 years.

I began substitute teaching when I moved up here and realized how much I loved teaching. 

I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to be a permanent part of the AWEsome “AWE” family. Here’s to a great 2023-2024 school year!!


Lynda Horan

(Educational Assistant IV)

Hi!

My name is Lynda Horan and I am a member of the SSN team. I absolutely love working with the students in our department! Not a day goes by that I don’t learn something from them. They are so amazing!


I have worked in education for 32 years. I started working at AWE in 2001. It is for sure home away from home for me.


Both my husband and I are Colorado natives and have been married for 53 years. We have three children and nine grandchildren.


In my free time, I enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, spending time with family and friends and of course attending numerous sporting events that my grandkids participate in…which is my favorite thing to do.
