Hey there! I'm Mrs. Heugly! I got my teaching degree from Utah State University. I have a passion for teaching. I decided to become a teacher because of my mom. She was always volunteering in my elementary school and eventually she got a job as an aid in the local elementary school. Seeing my mom's passion in the classroom inspired me. I also was inspired by all the great teachers I had growing up. I loved knowing when a teacher truly cared about me and knew me. They wanted to see me succeed and were so proud of me when I did. I wanted to be able to do that for kids as well.
A few fun facts about me, I grew up in Washington State in a small town. We were so small that our entire town was our district. It consisted of 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school and 1 high school. Teaching in a district with so many elementary schools was new for me. I also LOVE dogs. So much so that I currently own 5 of them. Most of them aren't small dogs either. I've included a picture of them below. Cute huh? In my free time I enjoy watching shows with my husband and kids. Playing games (both board, card and video) with my family and reading. I taught English to children in Russia for 4 months during college. I've also been to Finland, Sweden and Japan. One day I would LOVE to go to German.
