Welcome to 2nd grade!

 I am so excited to share our year together with your student. We are going to have so much fun together. 

 I am originally from South Dakota but love living in the beautiful state of Colorado. This is my 7th year teaching - my first 4 were spent in 1st grade and the rest has been spent in 2nd grade. Scott Elementary is a great place to be and I'm excited for my career to continue to be challenged and grow here. I will be teaching in a split day format focusing on literacy in the mornings, and Mrs. Kilgore will be focusing on math, science, and social studies in the afternoon. I am so excited to be team teaching with her and to see how far we can take our students together! 

I have a husband named Ryan and a 6 month old son named Wilder. We also have a husky named Mya. We enjoy great coffee, being outdoors, firepits, a good book, and Bronco football! I love to read for relaxation and go on long walks in the evenings. 

If I can ever do anything for you or your child, please be sure to reach out and let me know - I'll be happy to help and be a team together! You can contact us through email - cvanderbush@greeleyschools.org or ekilgore@greeleyschools.org, call the school, or access us via REMIND with the code @vk2019. I am so excited for the great year we'll do together!
