Hello! My name is Mario Turriago and this is my 6th year teaching. My undergraduate degree was in geology with a minor in chemistry and I have a master's in secondary science education. Before teaching I worked as a cosmetic chemist for Conair and worked at Yale doing geochemistry graduate research. My goal as a science teacher is to inspire lifelong problem solvers. Some of my favorite past times include trail and ultra running, bouldering, playing guitar, keyboard and cross country skiing. 

Hello, my name is Kelsey Wager and this is my 3^rd year teaching science at Fountain Middle School. My undergraduate degree is in Chemistry and I have a graduate degree in Chemistry as well. I love encouraging students to ask questions about the world around them and brining my love for nature into the classroom. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring Colorado.
