Hi, my name is Amy Smith and I am excited to join the Stillwater community here this fall as our new 3
rd
grade teacher. Our family moved to the Lake Joy area this summer and are absolutely loving it. I look forward to meeting you all this year.
I would love for you all to meet my daughter, Maya, who
will be attending Stillwater this fall in 3rd grade as well! In addition, my other daughter, Lily, will be starting at Tolt Middle School in 6th grade. Both girls have started soccer and are already meeting new friends. My husband is a Seattle Firefighter and will continue the commute into the city. He was part of the last graduating class at Tolt High School and is thrilled the girls will be going there.
As for me, I was born in Missouri, lived in Tennessee, Vancouver, (Washington), Redmond, Hawaii even for a brief stint, and primarily Seattle. I grew up not too far away from here and attended Margaret Mead for ½ of 5th grade and 6th, Evergreen Jr. High and Redmond High School. We enjoyed living in Ballard for the past six years, but are excited for this change. My past school, Loyal Heights Elementary, was an amazing school and the families there will be missed. I taught 4th grade and am excited to bring my expertise to the 3rd grade team here at Stillwater.
I have a business degree from the University of Washington focusing on finance and economics, so I LOVE math. I quickly realized my true passion was teaching, so I went back to UW and received my Masters in Teaching. I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love teaching.
Now for the good stuff - I love soccer. I coached both of my girls' teams until our move. I pretty much love every sport. I was a huge tomboy growing up and probably still am. I am a big Seahawks, Real Madrid and Barcelona fan. I also enjoy going to the Mariners games and wish I could afford going to the Seahawks games.
:)
I look forward to meeting you all throughout the year,
Amy Smith
3rd Grade Teacher
Stillwater Elementary
Go Hawks!!!
