Letter From Teacher

Meet Mrs. Power

I'm so excited to begin my tenth year at Aspen View! I love living in Colorado and have become a huge Avalanche fan! I am beginning my 31st year of teaching!! I absolutely love the positive culture here at Aspen View! Greeting my students each morning with handshakes and hugs is one of the best parts of my day!

I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, fishing, sailing, and just being in the sun.

I also love going to concerts, movies, sporting events, playing cards, spending time with my husband and three sons, and of course I need to add shopping!

I am most excited to be in such a positive environment, with supportive and encouraging administration and staff! I can't wait to start the new year!

Classroom Philosophy

Our Social Contract has been created, agreed upon, and signed. We will follow our RESPECT model of behavior. Learning will take place in a safe, inviting, and fun environment. Communication between parents, teachers and students will provide the teamwork needed for a successful third grade year!!
