| I started teaching in a rural district in Oregon in 1973 as a math teacher in a K-12 school.

I have taught math at all levels, served as the department chairman and was the chairman of the vertical math committee over a period of seven years. | ||||||||||

Monica Larson - Middle School Board Member At Large
|
|||||||||
| My name is Monica Larson and I've been teaching in Central Valley at Evergreen M.S since 2002. I began my teaching career in Grandview, Washington in 1999 where I taught fifth grade for three years. I made my way back to the Spokane area where I was born and raised and wished to raise my own kids. I live in the Four Lakes area with my husband Floyd and two kids, Tom and Erica. I also have four dogs and you guessed it... I love animals. I've been a part of the education association of Washington State since my first year of teaching back in 1999 and am now proud to serve as your Middle School Rep. on the executive board for Central Valley EA. I'll give as much to working for CVEA and all educators as I give in every other aspect of my life...110%! My favorite quote regarding education is a quote that came from Mohammad Ali, but twisted just a bit to fit educators and that is:
"If you ever dreamt you could bring an educator down, you'd better wake up and apologize." Reg Weaver, President of NEA. |
