Meet the family

Violet Wiskerchen

Violet loves the school because it is very balanced/open.

She loves animals and has 3 cats, 2 dogs, 1 chicken that has not died yet, and 1 goat. She loves to bake. One of the other things she loved this year was being part of the cross country team.

Her favorite thing to bake are macarons and cupcakes

She likes Twin Ridges much better than her previous school.

She would love to have more classes available at Twin Ridges .

Her favorite food is steak filet with a balsamic reduction.

She's been attending T R for 4 years.


Genevieve Toles

Genevieve has been part of this school for many years. She went here for junior high, her children have been going here since kindergarten and only recently left, and she has been teaching here for three years. When we asked what she liked about the school she said “Everything!” She then went on to specify that she likes how kind everyone is, and how everybody has a chance to create individual relationships.

She is a writing coach, and likes to spend her time writing (hence her job and being a writing teacher), and playing music. She plays traditional music on fiddle, guitar, penny whistle, bodhran drum, and many other things. She is also a homemaking fairy.

She enjoys following her kids to baseball games, and dreaming about working in her garden.

Genevieve would love to one day visit Scotland, she loves artichoke hearts, and will eat any cheese covered in wine.
