A Quick Note For My Class & Meet Mrs. Monheiser

 
About Me:
 

 Although I have lived in seven states, I am so grateful to be a Colorado native. We moved back to Colorado in 2012 and have fallen in love with this small town community of Castle Rock. My family consists of my husband and our two amazing kids. We have also added another family member to our crew, a sweet Labradoodle named Mia.:)

 

I graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Elementary Education. This will be my thirteenth year in the classroom, and I am super excited to still be teaching second grade. This will be my 9th year in second grade at AVA! What drew me to Aspen View Academy was the rich curriculum and strong support system for all students. It was refreshing to see kids getting exactly what they needed to grow and thrive. I am so grateful to be a part of such an amazing community.

When I have free time, I love to be with my family. I also enjoy reading, writing, watching college football, hiking, museums, art and history.
