Letter From Teacher

Hello! My name is Angie Kolmetz.

This will be my 3rd year at AVA, and my 29th year teaching. I am originally from the Chicago Area and graduated college from Elmhurst University in Elmhurst, IL. I received my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Design in Colorado in 2008. I have 4 boys who all live in the area. Two amazing daughter-in-laws and two more joining our family soon. I became grandma to Liam, Hallie, and Jethro last year and couldn't be happier to add this title! My husband and I enjoy reading, hiking, skiing, traveling and all of the amazing things that Colorado has to offer. We do love to sneak away to the beach when we can! I am looking forward to getting to know your 5th grade student and can't wait to get to know them. I am excited for this fun adventure!
