Hello! I am Mrs. Olsen and I will be your ELA and Social Studies teacher this year! I am a proud native of Logan, Utah. I graduated from Southern Utah State University with a BA in Elementary Education, along with 2 minors; Theater Arts and Dance and the Early Childhood Education. In 2009 I earned my Masters degree from NAU in Curriculum Instruction.
While working on my undergrad, I had the privilege of performing professionally with Burch Mann’s American Folk Ballet, which allowed me to tour many places including The Soviet Union. This is where my love of dance, music, theater, history, and learning about different cultures began. I have always tried to incorporate this in my teaching whenever possible. I have been married 30 years to my college sweetheart and I am a proud mom of three amazing children. In my spare time I enjoy watching them perform in local theater and dance performances. I love taking long vigorous walks to clear my head, spending time with my family and friends, and laughing until my stomach hurts. I also enjoy a good book or a funny quote, a good piece of dark chocolate, and surrounding myself with things that make me smile. I have been teaching for 30 years, and I couldn’t ask for a better profession. I am blessed to have had the privilege of teaching AND LEARNING from so many amazing students throughout my career. I can't wait to meet my new class this year! |
