Hey there, fantastic families and friends of Niwot Elementary! I'm Brenda, your dedicated Preschool Teacher extraordinaire, and I'm here to sprinkle a dash of excitement into your day! With over three decades of teaching experience under my belt, I've danced my way through kindergarten, rocked out with grade one, soared through grade two, embraced the world of special education, ignited the flames of literacy from kindergarten to fifth grade, and even took a swing at the magical realms of middle school Math and English. Teaching is not just what I do; it's who I am, and I've known it since my own grade school days. Hailing from the vibrant state of Massachusetts, I made the leap to colorful Colorado in my twenties, and boy, am I loving every moment of it! My husband and I planted our roots here in 1997, and together with our awesome daughter (who's now navigating her twenties), we've created a tapestry of treasured family moments. When we're not busy diving into the wonders of education, you can catch us savoring the sweet moments of family time. Whether we're pedaling our way through scenic bike trails, conquering mountain hikes, sailing into the sunset, strolling post-dinner under the stars, jet-setting to new destinations, or whipping up culinary delights in the kitchen, we believe in infusing every moment with joy, love, and a touch of adventure. Oh, and did I mention we're avid movie buffs and readers, skiing enthusiasts, and all-around champions of fun? Yep, that's us – a spirited bunch of adventurers, ready to make every day at Niwot Elementary a memorable one!
