If you walk down the first-grade hallway (The Quiet Zone), you are guaranteed to find two things: joyful learning and the unstoppable duo of Mrs. Burnum and Mrs. Aniotzbehere. Together, they bring warmth, high standards, and energy to our school every single day.
Mastering Early Literacy
Teaching a child to read is one of the most critical steps in early education, and this team has it down to a science. Mrs. Burnum and Mrs. Aniotzbehere make phonics, decoding, and sight words engaging and accessible for every young learner. Through interactive reading groups, dynamic phonemic awareness activities, and a print-rich classroom environment, they ensure that every first grader builds a strong foundation and a genuine love for books.
Supporting the Whole Team—In and Out of School
Their dedication doesn't stop at their classroom doors. Mrs. Burnum and Mrs. Aniotzbehere are the true heart of our staff, always looking for ways to lift up their colleagues. They make sure everyone around them feels supported, valued, and connected.
Positive Energy
No matter how busy the week gets, both Mrs. Burnum and Mrs. Aniotzbehere greet students, parents, and staff with welcoming smiles and bright attitudes. Their optimism sets an encouraging tone for the entire school.
Thank you, Mrs. Burnum and Mrs. Aniotzbehere, for your tireless work, your devotion to our readers, and the positive light you bring to our school community every day!
