Mrs. Brown
I have been a parent in the Tumwater Schools community for a few years. I am excited to be part of the 6th grade team as an ELA teacher on Team Sasquatch! Prior to joining the BMS team, I spent time teaching in the Renton, Franklin Pierce and North Thurston school districts. I've taught as a Reading Specialist, Special Education Teacher and as a 4th/5th grade teacher. I also spent time managing a program to promote positive school climate and culture at the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Middle school students are just amazing humans and I couldn't be happier to be serving the Bush Middle School community!
My husband and I live in Tumwater and we have three kids. Two of our kids are currently at East Olympia Elementary and our littlest will be joining there in a few years! We love our community and strongly support our Tumwater schools!
When I am not hanging with my family or teaching my fantastic students, I try to find time to get outside, run and read. I also love watching movies and eating popcorn when our rainy weather arrives!
