Lexington Elementary School

I was inspired by the many teachers I had growing up. There were some impactful people throughout my education that made me want to do the same.

I love seeing the smiles on the children’s faces. Each and everyone is different!

I love that I am working at Lexington on it’s first year.

I believe that relationships are the foundation to success at school. Getting to know my students, their interests, strengths and weaknesses is the first step in helping them grow.

I went into education because I love working with kids. I was a student who really struggled and few people stepped up to support me. I wanted to be that teacher that was there for all students.

My favorite school tradition is the school concerts and plays.

I loved school as a kid and I love helping others. This career allows me to support students with disabilities and empower them to function at their potential while at school.

I have always loved the Pumpkin Run, but right up there is the Sock Hop - where we get to enjoy our community coming together.

I love that some of our elementary schools merged into one and I am apart of it.

We have such amazing students here. I love being an Eagle because I get the honor of working with incredible staff, students and our community.

There is nothing better than to share your love of reading and learning with a child, in hopes it provides the inspiration for them to learn and be successful.

I love that we are all learning together? Everything from walking in the hallways to being and becoming superb citizens, showing growth every single day.

I believe students should enjoy learning and look forward to coming to school everyday, knowing they will be fully supported. .

My favorite classroom tradition was having a Thanksgiving Feast in our classroom. Each student could bring up to 2 guests and we would pack into our classroom, share a meal and be thankful for the time together.

I’ve wanted to be a teacher since I was a little kid and when I got a job as a para educator about 4 years ago, I knew I wanted to teach Special Education.

My educational philosophy is that all students can learn. I believe when a teacher establishes a good relationship with their students and knows their students needs…all kinds of learning growth happens.

I love our classroom meetings. Every child has an opportunity to have their voice heard. It promotes bonding between peers and teacher.

I love working with and being around kids. They are amazing and so much fun!

I got into education because of how much I loved being at school and learning.

I love the feeling of family amongst staff and students.

I love creating a culture together, including making many new traditions as a NEW school with our students, families and community.

Wednesday Shout Outs are the best. The students feel so loved and appreciated when they are recognized by staff and administration. It’s a great positive reinforcement that makes the kids feel special.

I love kids so much. You could be having the worst day and they will make it better with just a smile or something they say; funny or sweet.

I love Kelso homecoming week; dressing up, football games and the Highland Fling.

When a child has been struggling and they finally grasp the educational concept we are working on ...they light up with excitement and understanding...It's the best reward ever!

As a Speech Language Pathologist, I can work in hospitals, schools, birth-to-five clinics or even run my own business - but I chose to work in elementary schools because I was in speech in my elementary school.

When choosing a profession to pursue, I looked to those that would allow me to give back and make a difference in the lives of children. Having the opportunity to be a part of children's learning and growth is a blessing.

I love to see kids learn, grow and smile. I love to help children who are dysregulated find peace and safety in our school.

I initially got into education because I always enjoyed tutoring friends and siblings. I stayed because I realized how much I loved the kids .

The community here at Lexington is like no other. As traditions are being made, I really enjoy any time I get to spend with my students and their families outside of the classroom.

I love being part of such a large school. The community environment is great!

I spent many years working with some struggling populations in our community. I’m a helper at heart. I started to ask myself where I could make a real change and decided education is where it is at! I see education as a real vehicle of change in our community.

I have always loved school and working with kids. Seeing that “lightbulb moment” when a student learns something new brings me joy. I hope to pass on my passion for learning to my own students!

I have always loved helping people and as a school counselor I have the opportunity to help others better themselves and their lives every day.

I believe building relationships with students is the key to unlocking their potential. When kids feel comfortable and safe at school with an adult they trust , then they can learn.

I love that the Eagle community feels like a family. We are all there for each other and super supportive.
