Hello, My name is Amanda. I was born and raised in California and moved to New Mexico 3 years ago. I'm married and we have 2 sons, a daughter in law and 2 grandchildren. I began working for the school district when my youngest was in elementary school. I have been working in education for about 20 years and have worked for RRPS for 3 of those years. I have worked in every grade level except high school. My favorite thing to do at school is to read with children. There is something about the way their eyes light up when they sound out a word and realize that they just read, that makes me happy.
