From the Desk of Our new Family Liaison

I am a Colorado Native, born and raised, turned Air Force wife.  I am a mother of 4 children: Senior, Sophomore, 7^th grader and 5^th grader.  I have a Bachelor of Science with an emphasis in Elementary Education . I enjoy being outdoors, food (all kinds), cheering for my kids, and most of all spending time with my family. 

I am so excited to be part of the Gunston Elementary School family. I love that I have the opportunity to work with children, their families and the community! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if you would just like to introduce yourself!

I look forward to meeting you either in person or via phone call.  You can find me at Gunston or reach me by email: @email or by calling the office at 703-541-3600.

We are so grateful to be back to a better normal this school year.  A goal of mine as your family liaison this year it to build a network of people and businesses in our community to partner in making Gunston an optimal learning environment. 

If you are a business owner or work for a business that would be willing to sponsor one of our monthly parent coffees, please reach out to me I would love to partner with you.  We would love both areas of expertise to be shared with our families and/or buying coffee and donuts for those who attend our meetings.

Another request I have, if you are out shopping, have extra supplies at your home or business, or feel the desire to pick up a gift card to be used for school supplies we are in need of several items.  Here are the specific needs we have for school supplies.  We use these supplies as part of our Avid curriculum, it is a system that teaches our students organizational skills that promote student success both in and out of the classroom.

• 3 inch binders (any color)
• Plastic 2 pocket folders with 3 hole punch: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and black.
