Ms. Allison Henry

Visit my web page here.

Position: Sixth Grade Science

Education: B.A. Psychology, Fort Lewis College, Elementary Education Certificate, Fort Lewis College

Bio: The 2009-2010 school year marks my tenth year of teaching. All of my experience has been served in either a 5^th or 6^th grade classroom. I started my career at Minturn Middle School outside of Vail. I spent three years teaching 5^th grade at Eagle Ridge Elementary in Lone Tree, and the rest of my experience has transpired here at Powell. I love students this age. It is an exciting challenge to help them transition from elementary school into independent middle school students.

I grew up in the mountains near Aspen, and I love the lifestyle that comes with living there. I find myself regularly visiting the mountains to hike, bike and just relax. I am a huge fan of live music, and it is rare for me not to see someone performing somewhere on any given weekend. I also pride myself on being an advocate for creating and maintaining a sense of community. Emphasizing the importance of our environment as well as the individuals in it is key to developing a sense of community. I try to weave my passion for both of these into my daily life and also my teaching.
