Cherry Drive Elementary School

I am so excited to be teaching for my fifth year at Cherry Drive!  I began "teaching" when I was five years old.  Playing school was a daily happening throughout my childhood.  My love of teaching only grew as did I.  

I was born and raised in Westminster, Colorado and lived in the same 1/4 of a mile my whole life until several years ago. I attended District 12 schools beginning in 4th grade until I graduated in 2000. My positive experieces guided me toward wanting to be a teacher in the district.

I am originally from Carson City, Nevada. I graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in 1996. My amazing husband Chris and I moved to Colorado in 1999 right after we got married. We have two beautiful and sweet girls Kendall and Kylie. We love animals and have lots of fish, a turtle named Rondo and a wonderful dog, Pedro. My last name may sound a little weird, that's because it is Basque. We were lucky to find a Basque Club right here in Colorado.

My students, I found a cool web site to practice your spelling words.

Type in Carreon for teacher name and the lists will appear, you can have it teach you or you can play games or you can take a test!!  :-)

I have been teaching for 15 years.  I have been at Cherry Drive for 7 of those years.  I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon Cherry Drive as I was walking through the neighborhood.  My husband and I moved here with the intent of opening a restaurant in 2001, but it didn't work out.  I feel very blessed to work in the neighborhood that I live in.  The staff and students at Cherry Drive are AWESOME!!
