As I start my 28th year in education and 17th year in Yorkville CUSD 115, I am still humbled by the Bristol Bay community's support for the education of our students. At Bristol Bay, I work with amazing students, staff, and parents.. Watching our youngest learners grow into innovative, risk-taking leaders is the highlight of working in a K-6 building.   

Throughout this school year, the staff has implemented numerous changes to assist students as they continue to grow academically and socially. Following the mission of the district, Bristol Bay Elementary School strives to provide continuous improvement, flexible learning, personalized environments, and innovative opportunities for students. We are doing things “The Bay Way” and we are excited to be “Better Each Day” this year as our school-wide theme. 

I love every day that I get to spend interacting with students. It is through these interactions that I am reminded how lucky I am to work with such a supportive and genuine community. Bristol Bay has so much to offer its students, and I am amazed at the commitment to learning by all community members. I am fortunate to work in a community that supports family, and I hope that I am a support for each of the students at Bristol Bay Elementary School. My door is open for parents, and I welcome the opportunity to get to know you.
