Mrs. Ellett

• Educational Background and Professional Experience: I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington with minors in Studio Art and Art History. I earned my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University. I have taught for over twenty years in North Carolina and California. This will be my twelfth year in sixth grade. I am excited for this school year!

• I grew up on the east coast in Virginia. I moved to North Carolina for college and met my husband there. We live in Point Loma/Ocean Beach with our two boys (ages 9 and 10) and two dogs. We enjoy going to the beach, snorkeling, boogie boarding, and playing with the dogs. On the weekends, we spend time with friends exploring all San Diego has to offer.

Mrs. Mair

• Educational Background and Professional Experience: I graduated from Colgate University with a BA in English Literature and earned my teaching credential from the University of San Diego. For over twenty years I’ve taught in a variety of settings. I was a classroom teacher in the Solana Beach School District before my family moved to Colorado where I was a K-5 computer coach in Littleton Public Schools. This is my 5th year teaching 6th grade in Del Mar Schools and I am thrilled to be returning to the Carmel Del Mar team for my second year. 

• Life Outside the Dragon's Lair: I was raised in Poway and grew up loving books, school, nature, and riding horses. At Colgate, I was the scrum captain of the women's rugby team, and I spent a semester studying in South Africa while Mandela was president. My family and I lived in Denver for nine years where I fell in love with the Colorado Avalanche and live music at Red Rocks. I currently live in Encinitas with my husband, Jason, and our two awesome young adult sons, Daniel (UCSC) and Robbie (CU Boulder), and I enjoy paddleboarding, writing, hiking, and playing games of any kind.

Mrs. Mead

• Educational Background and Professional Experience: I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology from UCLA.  I also completed a study abroad program at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.  I then attended University of La Verne where I earned my teaching credentials and my Master's Degree in Education.  Prior to teaching in Del Mar Union SD, I taught 6th grade in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties.  This will be my twelfth year teaching this grade and I absolutely love 6th grade!  

• I grew up in Central Coast California and relocated to San Diego with my husband.  We have two daughters, Taylor who is 2 1/2 years old and Blair who is 5 months old. If I have free time, you can find me walking our dog, cooking (and eating) yummy meals, hiking, or taking a weekend road trip to visit family.
