Hello Runyon Families!
My name is Jeff Bell and I've been a part of the LPS community for over 5 years now as a parent, substitute teacher, student teacher, and now third grade teacher. I recently completed a Masters program in Early Childhood Education at CSU and I could not be happier to be part of the Runyon team! Before my teaching journey, I had the privilege of working at National Geographic Maps for over 15 years, indulging my love for maps and all things geography.
A Colorado native, I attended Heritage High School in Littleton and the University of Colorado in Boulder—Go Buffs! After some time living in New York City following college, my wife and I returned to Colorado where we feel lucky to have our two kids here at Runyon. Our daughter is in 5th grade this year and our son is just across the hall from me in 3rd :) We enjoy traveling, spending time in the mountains, sports, tending to our garden, and even making pickles!
I am so excited to be a partner with you and your child to have a successful year!
