We are so excited to welcome Kate Dryden to our 2nd Grade Team.

Kate's family is currently living in Reno, Nevada, but they have lived in many places including both the east and west coast and even abroad. She is the second oldest of five and loves spending time with her family!

Her favorite hobbies include hiking, rock climbing, camping, painting and baking! She loves the colors pink and green and her favorite way to spend the night is going out for frozen yogurt!

Here's what Kate has to say about teaching:

"One of the reasons I love teaching is because of the many things I have learned from children. Kids are naturally creative, quick problem-solvers, kind, and eager to learn. I hope to shape my own life to reflect these same qualities."

We are thrilled to have Miss Dryden on our East Meadows Team!

Maddie Christensen has transferred from Larsen Elementary to East Meadows to teach our younger grade BSC class and we are thrilled to welcome her to our team.

Maddie grew up in Ogden, Utah with 2 brothers and 2 sisters plus a bonus brother too. She married her sports loving husband Cam, 3 years ago. She loves Chick Fil A, going to the movies, dancing, listening to music (preferably at concerts), playing games with friends, and traveling. She had the opportunity to travel to Europe and Australia this summer, and she reports that it was amazing!

About teaching, Maddie says,

"I love that teaching is a pathway to helping little minds learn so much. I enjoy getting to know my students and what makes them unique! "

Meet Mrs. Apple!

Can you think of a better name for a teacher than Mrs. Apple? We are happy to introduce Mrs. Jaida Apple who will be joining our 4th grade team as a new teacher this year.

Jaida is from American Fork. She has three younger siblings and just got married to her husband, Oaklan, in February!

She loves being outside, reading, swing dancing and being with her family. One of her new favorite things is visiting National parks! She and her husband have a goal to visit all 63 of them.

Here's what Mrs. Apple wants to share about teaching:

"The biggest thing I love about teaching is helping students to have that "lightbulb moment" where they go from being confused to understanding content and having confidence in their abilities."

Welcome to our East Meadows Team!

We are so exited to welcome Abbey College to our teaching staff. She will be joining our 5th Grade Team.

Abbey is originally from Spanish Fork but after college she moved to Arizona where she has been teaching for the past four years. She and her husband Derek have been married for three years and are happy to be back in Utah.

She loves reading books, sewing, traveling, playing board games and being with her two nephews. She could eat ice cream every day and wishes she had a Disneyland annual pass!

Here's what Abbey says about being a teacher:

"Teaching inspires me to be a better person every day. I love seeing students explore science and watching them find a love for reading and learning!"

Welcome to East Meadows Abbey!
