Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Mrs. Russell is from the greater Seattle area. She attended school at Eastern Washington University receiving her Bachelor’s degree in Children’s Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education. Theory and practice, from the disciplines of sociology, psychology, and education, form the basis for this interdisciplinary and integrated curriculum and build a strong holistic background in the study of children, from birth to adolescence. The courses she took provided her with foundational and global perspectives of children and education. While attending school she worked for a Preschool and Early Childhood Education center caring for young ages six months to five years old. Ms. Russell was thrilled to start working at Founders Classical Academy as the K-2 grammar school aide in 2016.
