🔦 Staff Spotlight: Meet the Third Grade Team Series 🔦...
🦦 Ms. Janna Redman: My hope is to help students build a love for learning and community! I always loved school growing up, and I hope to help others feel that joy.
📖 Favorite children’s book: I love Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. I still remember checking that book out at the library over and over again :) I also used to read all the Nancy Drew books. Books are the best.

🩴Fun fact: I love flip flops, cozy clothes, and being outside as much as possible. I also have the best dog, Walter the Springer Spaniel. I have LOVED being both a teacher and parent at View Ridge and have taught in Seattle and Issaquah for 14 years. My most favorite thing in the world is spending time with my family.

🦦 Ms. Julie Miller: Each year my students learn a class affirmation. The first two lines are: “I can be anything I want to be. I am an important person in this world.” My hope is that my students carry those words through their school year, but also beyond the classroom walls and beyond their View Ridge years. You can bet I will always be cheering for them!
📖 Favorite children’s book: I always start the school year by reading Gooseberry Park by Cynthia Rylant. It’s a wonderful animal friendship story, and we adore the characters. I also love the picture book, The Girl Who Ran. It tells the story of Bobbi Gibb, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon in 1966.
🏃🏼‍♀️Fun facts: I have taught at View Ridge for 23 years, and both my kids attended View Ridge (now 8th and 12th grade). I’m a runner, and my longtime running partners are former View Ridge moms. We’re currently training for the Paris Half Marathon this March!

🍿 Movie Night #1 Was a Success! 🍿...
Grades K and 1st, family, and friends gathered last night for a free community event and had a blast! They enjoyed popcorn and brought their cozy blankets and pillows to enjoy Ratatouille. Thank you to Sarah and Lindsay for volunteering, planning, and making this night a success!
Join us at our next movie night!
