Taylor Urzendowski
Meet Miss. U.
Hi, my name is Miss Urzendowski, but I go by Miss U. I am in my 5th year teaching, fourth year at AVA! I am SO excited to be here! I am from Kansas City, Missouri and went to school at Northwest Missouri State University! I graduated with a bachelors in elementary education (K-6th Grade) and Social Studies Education (7th-12th Grade) with concentration areas in multicultural studies and social sciences. My favorite subject is History because it is like one big real life story! After school you can find me coaching Middle School Cross Country and Girls/Boys Basketball. I love everything outdoors; hiking, snowboarding, walking, and exploring new places. On my weekends, you can find me traveling, being outdoors with friends, or watching football (I’m a huge Kansas City Chiefs fan and Nebraska Cornhuskers fan). Thank you for sharing your sweet kiddos with me!
