Introductions

You are already familiar with Ms. Anna and Ms. Kirstin, but we wanted to take a moment to introduce you to two other important people to Room 12, Ms. Tami and Ms. Peterson!
Tami Kizziar will be our lead teacher the week of May 21st and again June 5-13th. In addition to serving as a highly-requested PreK-Grade 5 guest teacher at OES, she has served in a volunteer capacity as the Counseling Center Volunteer at Lincoln High School and as an algebra tutor for Open Meadow Alternative School. Before staying at home with her own children (her youngest graduates from high school the week of May 29th!) she was an elementary school teacher in California. You can reach her at tamarakizziar@gmail.com.

Caley Peterson is a familiar face at OES and has been one of our guest teachers for a number of years, including long-term positions for teachers on sabbatical or leave. She has a Masters in Teaching with an emphasis in Early Childhood Development from Pacific University, has taught summer school at OES, taught second grade in Beaverton and has worked as an academic tutor. Caley is also a volunteer in the Child Life and Oncology unit at OHSU Doernbecher. Caley will be with us May 29-June 4. You can reach Caley at mspetersonc@gmail.com.
