Katie Castle This is my 14th year teaching at SSE and have spent most of those years in 6th grade. The last 4 years I have had the privilege of specializing in Math and love getting to teach my favorite subject all day! In my free time I love to spend time with my family and travel.

Amelia Parker This is my second year teaching 6th grade. My area of specialization is writing. I learn so much about the children through their writing, and absolutely love it! In addition to my love of writing, I also adore my family, students, sweet puppy Lexi , and doing anything in nature. National Parks are a favorite adventure of mine!
