Mrs. Kurzeja's 1st Grade Class 

2025-2026

This will be my 31st year of teaching in the elementary grades, and my 27th school year at Lupin Hill. I am very excited to get to know all of you as we work together this year.  

I grew up in Illinois and moved to California in 1998 due to my husband's employment opportunities.  My husband, Rob, and I have 2 children who keep us busy! Owen attends Moorpark College, and Katelyn is in 12th grade.  Our children also attended Lupin Hill!  During my time at Lupin Hill, I have taught 1st grade, 2nd grade, combination classes of 1st and 2nd grade, and I was also the ELD/Reading Specialist for 5 years.
