Welcome to 2nd grade! I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! This is my second year here at Jefferson Academy, and I absolutely love it here. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology with a minor in Human Services, as well as a Masters of Arts in Teaching all through the University of Northern Colorado (GO BEARS). I have worked with kids in a variety of settings, such as in childcare and behavior therapy. 

I recently got married in June, and was known as Ms. Ribble last year (just in case you hear me accidentally call myself that). My husband's name is Logan, and we have a Portuguese Water Dog named Oscar, and a hamster named Carl. I'm sure your children will bring home many funny stories about those two! 

I love being outdoors, and most weekends my family can be found hiking. I recently got into skiing as well, and am currently training for my first marathon. 

I cannot wait to get to know all of my students and am always here to help with any questions!

I am so excited to be an EA in 2nd grade this year! This is my first year as an EA. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan.

I am a Colorado Native. I have been married for 11 years to my husband Mike. We have 2 children at JA, Ryan is in 1st grade and Troy is in 3rd grade. We also have two dogs, Dakota (a 7 month old Vizsla) and Thunder (a two year old GSP - German Shorthaired Pointer).

When we are not in school, we are usually outside, and we love the mountains! We ski, hike, bike, swim, and just play outside as much as we can. We also love to travel and have a passion for finding new favorite places. Inside, I like to paint and read.

I am thrilled to be a part of the 2nd grade team here at JA and cannot wait to get to know the students more as the year goes on!
