Welcome to first grade! I am so excited to be your child’s teacher, watching them grow and learn new things. After spending several years in Texas, my heart brought me back to my Arizona roots.  I graduated from Grand Canyon University with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and am currently working towards my master’s degree in education with an emphasis in reading. Although this is my second-year teaching at Village Meadows, I have taught preschool/kindergarten for 14 years using the Montessori philosophy and methodology.  I received my Montessori certification from the Association Montessori International, which is an international accredited program in June of 1999.

Thank you for entrusting me with your children and for allowing me to be a part of their education.  I believe there is great potential in all children, and nothing touches my heart more that seeing them succeed.

Please feel free to contact me at michelle.marion@dvusd.org with any questions or concerns.
