Hello, I'm Rebecca Wadley, and this is my 19th year here at Ranch View. I finally changed my name after my recent 2023 marriage, so many people are still familiar with my maiden name, Wickstrom. I was born and raised in Iowa, and I've taught language arts for 27 years. In the past, I've also coached gymnastics, track, and cross country.

In the warmer months, I enjoy camping and biking in our beautiful state of Colorado. My other half and I have an energetic English Pointer named Piper, and she thinks camping in the mountains is Disney Land! I used to be an avid road cyclist, riding since my teens; however, in the past several years, I've really enjoyed the challenges of mountain biking and down hilling. 

I am excited to get to know my students and look forward to a positive year! Middle schoolers are so eager and energetic, so I feel like I connect with this age group well. I'm pretty friendly and approachable, so feel free to contact me at any time if you have concerns or questions. 

Here's to a great 8th grade year!
