Rachel Hall, Testing Coordinator
I have spent most of my life living in Cache Valley. I was born in Northern Idaho and lived just outside Glacier National Park in Montana when I was young. I still miss the trees and bald eagles, not so much the bitterly cold winters.
I have been working in elementary schools for the past 15 years. I have been at CCID since the very first year. I have worked as the Aide in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. I am thoroughly enjoying my new role working with kids from multiple grades.
I am curious and creative and love to craft, especially using odds and ends or leftovers and upcycling them. I enjoy reading aloud to kids. I love stickers and enjoy sharing them. I also have started to collect quotes. I find great joy in sharing positive, encouraging or funny words with people, especially when they need it. I live by these two mantras "See a need, Fill a need" and "Do your little bit of good where you are. It's those little bits of good put together that change the world."
I find great fulfillment working with children, helping them to learn and grow. It is so exciting when they make connections and their world expands.
Mr. Kent, Safety Specialist
I grew up in Davis County, Utah spending most of my time outside. I started working in Special Education classrooms shortly after graduating from high school. I work with all grades and all students and love helping them be successful at school.AnnMarie Spendlove, Orchestra Teacher & Support Staff
I was born and raised in Smithfield and stayed here to raise my own family. At a young age I discovered my love for music. I loved practicing so much my parents had to tell me to stop and go outside and play. In the sixth grade I picked up violin and fell in love with that instrument as well. I started teaching violin and piano lessons when I was 17 and realized how fun it was to teach others the joy of music. Tamra Neilson, Occupational Therapy Support
I was raised in North Carolina and appreciate every opportunity I have to get back to the green and the trees. I enjoy traveling, baking, hiking, and spending time with family & friends. I also like reading, organizing, cheering for the Carolina Hurricanes & Duke Blue Devils and exploring new places. I am happiest when walking on a beach with my husband or supporting my two awesome children in their lives.
I’ve always really liked the quote, “Every child is one caring adult away from being a success story.” I’m grateful for the opportunity to help provide that at CCID.
