🎉 We’re continuing our “Meet Our New Staff” series with Alison Ullom, our new 1st Grade Teacher! Alison graduated with her degree in Early Childhood Education from Kent State Tuscarawas, and we are thrilled that she’s starting an exciting new chapter here at Sandy Valley! ❤️
🍎 For Alison, one of the best parts of teaching is watching her students grow throughout the year. She says it’s “magical to see how much they learn and grow in a school year!” ✨
And if you think Alison is busy at school, just wait until you hear about her crew at home! She and her husband, Cory, have three daughters - Callie, Harper and Zoey - along with two dogs, seven cats and 11 chickens! 🐶🐱🐔 That’s a whole lot of Cardinal energy!
When she’s not teaching or spending time with her family, Alison loves to travel, create classroom resources and decorations, and golf! ⛳️😄
