Welcome to Third Grade!

My name is Ms. Amy Eichten, and I am a third grade reading teacher at KMES! I am so excited to learn and work in collaboration with your child this year.

A Little About Myself


I love KoMet country! While I spent 7 years living and teaching in Fort Collins, Colorado, the K-M area is my forever home. As a K-M alumni (2007), I have many fond, happy memories of the great community here and the outstanding educational and extra curricular activities available to our students and citizens. During my time as a K-M student, I participated in track and field, choir, and the drama club. I feel fortunate to be teaching at my alma mater. Go KoMets!

* Hobbies: spending time with my daughter (she's almost 7) boyfriend, and family, running, reading, and camping
