Miss Lori Tibbetts (she/Her)

Hello!  I'm Miss Tibbetts and I have been teaching music since 2002.  In my 20+ years of teaching I have taught K-5 General Music, Choir in grades 3 through 12, and Band 5 through 12.  I've also been the Director of the Rose Garden Singers and the Assistant Director of Olympia Sweet Adelines.  

I started my own musical journey in Rhythm Band as a young child and joined band playing flute when I was in 5th grade.  I added choir and trombone for Jazz Band in high school.

I attended the University of Southern California as an undergraduate and earned a Bachelor's in Music, Music Education (Cum Laude) in May of 2002.  In 2007 I received my Masters in Education, Integrated Curriculum from the University of Washington, Tacoma.

Currently I am teaching General Music, Choir, and Band at East Olympia Elementary.

I currently have two orange cats and a gray and white kitten that run the house - O'Malley, Toulouse, and Gershwin.  I enjoy reading, watching television, and making music for pleasure in my spare time.  I sometimes attempt to play videogames.
