I am a veteran Natrona County teacher with a special interest in literacy for all students. After teaching special education and low achieving students for years, my goal is to engage students in innovative projects by using technology and the computer science standards. Reading and writing are focal points for learning, and when students can engage in real world projects like the Young Authors Contest, they learn the real purpose of writing! jill835@myncsd.org

Hello, I am Kristine Frey. Before I accepted a teaching position in Cheyenne, Jim and I raised three sons in the small communities of Pinedale and Greybull, Wyoming. Since 2004, I have taught deaf and hard of hearing students at every grade level (K-12) throughout the school district. My commitment to lifelong learning guided me toward the completion of a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction, with a focus on literacy, at the University of Wyoming. The focus of my dissertation was teaching deaf students how to communicate their stories in sign language and translate their stories into written English. A passion for identifying innovative ways to teach students to read and write has filled my life as a mother, teacher, and as a mentor.
