Mrs. Slavens

Note from the Teacher! 

Hello! I am Mrs. Slavens and I am honored to be a teacher-librarian at CJH. I have lived and/or worked in the Fife School District my entire life. I went to Milton Elementary School, Surprise Lake Middle School and graduated from Fife High School. I attended Green River Community College for 2 years before transferring to the University of Puget Sound where I received a B.S. in Secondary Math Education. I earned a M.A. degree  from City University in Educational Technology and a graduate certificate in School Library Media Services from the University of Washington. I taught math at Surprise Lake for 10 years before transitioning to the library for 2 years. I have been the librarian at Columbia since its opening in the Fall of 2003. Beginning in September 2023 I will be at CJH 1/2 time and at Fife High School 1/2 time. Go Cougs and Get'em Trojans!
