My name is Andie Perez, and this is my first year teaching. Teaching is something I’ve wanted to do since I was in 1st grade, and now I’m lucky enough to be a 1st grade teacher! It’s an absolute passion of mine, and I am so excited to see what this year has in store for me. I know it’s going to be a year full of fun, learning, and lots of adventures! I thought you might want to know a little about me.

 

I was born in San Diego, California and moved to Colorado Springs when I was two years old. I went to school in Monument because my mother was a teacher in the district. I graduated from Lewis Palmer High School in 2012, then began a new adventure at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. I graduated from there this past April with a BA in Elementary Education. I am so excited to be back in my hometown of Colorado Springs!

 

In my free time, I enjoy doing anything outside with my friends and family. In the summer, you will find me hiking, camping and backing. In the winter, I love to build snowmen, snowshoe, and snowboard!

 

The Midland community has been so welcoming to me, and I’m very thankful for that. It is my mission to install a love for learning in all lessons so that my students develop a desire to become life-long learners. I look forward to a great year here in this wonderful school!
