Tamra Bunnell, Math Coach

Tamra Bunnell

My kids have been part of CCID since it opened and I’m thrilled to now have the opportunity to come to school with them every day. I graduated from Utah State with my degree in Math and Physics Education. Prior, I taught math at South Cache when it was an 8&9th Center, math and stats at USU, and I have tutored students in math and science for over 15 years. My passion is listening to how students process their math and adjusting curriculum so that I teach in the way that they learn best.

Out of school, I love to play games and explore new things with my family. I love being out in nature and I have a dream to someday live on a self sustained farm. In the meantime, my kids and I enjoy keeping bees and digging in the garden.

Rachel Hall, Progress Monitoring

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.

Tiffany Kelly, After School Club Director

I have lived in Utah most of my life. I've lived from one end of the state to the other. But I claim Mapleton as where I grew up. I'm excited to make Logan my home.

I graduated from USU with a bachelor degree in Family, Consumer, and Human Development. I have worked with children going on 19 years. Most of my career has been in a Childcare setting as a teacher and director. I came to CCID in the 2022-2023 school year to expand my career and to be in a school with my son. We have grown to love CCID!

I love teaching children and watching them discover new things. I have enjoyed working in the After School Club where I get to know the children on a more personal level. I look forward to continuing to work with the After School Club.

In my free time I love: reading, biking, being outside (when it's not too cold or hot), playing games, traveling, camping, and spending time with my family.

Mystee Shauers, Testing Coordinator

My name is Mystee Shauers. My real name is Michelle, but when I moved to Wyoming in 1978, I was the eighth Michelle in my grade, so since all the typical nicknames were taken, my mom dubbed me Mystee. It was purley coincidence that I married Mr. Shauers. Now I have the best name ever! I have been married for 30 years and have two married daughters. I am the proud grandparent of Foxx (5), Artemis (2), and Everest (1). Artemis has a genetic defect called Prader Willi Syndrome. I am a big advocate for her and am very active in her PWS journey. I am all about raising awareness for PWS, so if you have questions, please ask!

I have a degree in Music and singing is my favorite thing. I am a member of The American Festival of Femme Chorale. I also have my own jewelry business. I love to work with beads and managed a bead store in the valley for 12 years.

I have been in education for 25 in many different roles. I am at CCID as the Testing Coordinator. I am very happy to be part of this fun community of people who love kids and education as much as I do!

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.

At Utah State University I continued my study of music and earned my degree in Music Education. Since then I've taught private lessons and small orchestra classes. Bringing music into the lives of my students, and helping them to learn how to create and express themselves through music is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. I'm excited to be able to work with the future musician s at CCID!

My husband and I are parents to four wonderful children. We live on a small "farm" with two goats, three chickens, four cats, and more grasshoppers than anyone could ever count (we'd like to find a new home for those, if you're interested). Our family enjoys playing board games, watching sci-fi TV shows, reading Brandon Sanderson books and exploring national parks. My other hobbies include distance running, hiking, pyrography (wood burning), and gluten free baking.

Lindsey Thompson, Literacy Coach

I grew up here in beautiful Cache Valley. My dad taught school and my teachers over the years, (good and not so good) helped me to decide to go into teaching. I graduated with my Degree in Elementary Education and later received my ESL Endorsement and my Science STEM Endorsement. I have taught for a lucky 13 years and I really enjoy teaching at CCID, the same school my children attend.

There are many things I enjoy doing in my free time. My favorite thing to do is travel anywhere!! I also enjoy skiing in the winter, hiking and backpacking in the summer. I live in Bear Lake so we enjoy the lake all summer. My other hobbies include reading, scrapbooking, and playing board games.

Taylor Atwood, Support Staff

I graduated from Utah State University with a bachelor's degree in Music Therapy. After completing my coursework in 2017, I completed a 6-month internship at a children's hospital outside Chicago, Illinois before passing my certification exam. Since then, I have worked for Logan City School District in their life skills classrooms, and at private music therapy practices in Fairfax, Virginia and Southeast Idaho.

I have experience working with many populations including patients and families in the NICU, children and teens with disabilities, adults with dementia, teens with mental health challenges, and many others.

When I'm not at school, I enjoy teaching piano lessons, watching and playing sports, spending time with my husband, and taking care of our many beehives.

Shaylie Fischer, Support Staff

Shaylei grew up in the small town of Grantsville, Utah. She is currently studying at Western Governors University to pursue her business degree. Her life motto is “ You’ve got three choices: give in, give up, or give it all you got!” Her belief in this motto has led her to many amazing opportunities in multiple states and even other countries. She enjoys photography, theatre, karaoke, and traveling. She loves having fun and always tries to find joy in the journey.

Gretha Goebel, Support Staff

One of my greatest loves is spending time outside. You can find me up the mountains, getting soaked in the rain, or inside plastering myself with aloe when I'm not here at CCID or studying.

I find plants, animals, and learning fascinating which is why I've chosen to study Biology Education through Western Govenors University. I'm a believer in hands-on experimentation and love helping others see just how cool this world is!

Angela Hawkins, Support Staff

I was born and raised in Utah, I've lived all over the state. I love the mountains so much and for fun I like hiking, meditation and reading. I have 3 kids and have lived in Logan since 2019.

I love helping children and have a work history in the Special Education department as an aide. It's the perfect job for me and makes me so happy! There is nothing better than serving others and helping our future generations to succeed.

Tashiana Ondiveros, Support Staff

I was born and raised here in Cache Valley. I recently graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor's in Social Work and a Minor in Human Development & Family Studies. Education is very important to me, so getting to work in an environment where we are able to watch and help kids succeed is very exciting for me.

I like to travel and learn about different cultures, spend time with my family and friends, and read. I also enjoy baking, watching movies and the outdoors, especially during the fall season. I am a firm believer that kindness will never fail you.

Kaylie Sipe, Support Staff

I was borne and raised in Cache Valley. I spent a couple years exploring in Alaska after I graduated high school. I love being able to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. I'm not a fan of the cold or the snow, but I love being outdoors. I also love animals and tattoos.

I am so excited for this school year and can't wait for all the new adventures!

Lee Whitlock, Support Staff

Lee was born and raised in northern Wyoming. Almost his whole life he spent in Ten Sleep, a tiny town nestled at the base of the Big Horn Basin. Growing up he spent his summers in the Big Horn mountains at the family cabin.

In 2018 he graduated from high school and started in Utah State University in the fall of that same year. After two semesters he took a break from school to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in southern Utah.

He is now back at Utah State University. His hobbies include listening to music, country swing dancing, ceramics, and almost anything outdoors. In his family he is the fourth of five children.
