Mrs. Horton, Teacher ABOUT ME: I just moved to Colorado from upstate New York with my husband and our pup Valentine. Having never been out west, I am looking forward to exploring and learning about the area. EXPERIENCE: I have been teaching since 2016, and have a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction where I specialized in Student Services and hold a Special Education certification. I taught a variety of grades in Georgia and New York; however, Pre-K continues to hold a special place in my heart. I ENJOY WORKING AT CONRAD BECAUSE: I love engaging with this age group, seeing their excitement learning new things, and watching the significant growth from the beginning to the end of the school year. I look forward to a new and exciting school year at Conrad! Mrs. Horton's Favorites
Mrs. Diane, Paraprofessional ABOUT ME: I have been married to my husband Kevin since 1981 and we have two sons, Eric, and Adam. I love Colorado and enjoy seeing it from the back of my husband’s motorcycle as we travel through this beautiful state. EXPERIENCE: I have been a para with D8 since 2019. My love for preschool education started back in 1990 when I helped start a preschool at my church here in Colorado Springs. I ENJOY WORKING AT CONRAD BECAUSE: I have always felt that the most important job that I have as a preschool educator is to help my students learn how to be part of a learning community in the classroom. By learning to be independent and to advocate for themselves, I feel my students will be successful in kindergarten and beyond. Mrs. Diane's Favorites
