Welcome families,
 
I would like to introduce myself to those of you I have not met and let the rest of you know a little more about me. My name is Elizabeth Gaskell and I’ll be teaching 1st grade this year at Mullenix Ridge Elementary. This is my eigth year with the Mullenix family and I am VERY happy and excited to be back this year! I am a graduate of Western Washington University. I have earned my teaching certificate and a degree in Interdisciplinary Child Development. I pursued a BioChem/BioPhysics major at Oregon State University prior to entering the teaching program so I have a love for science as well as reading and literacy.  I come from a military family and moved to Kitsap County in 1995, so I have come to love this area. I am originally from New Jersey but call Port Orchard home. I am married to a submariner and we have three four-legged children (Siberian Husky Sasha and newest additions Bleu and Marble who are domestic short hair cats) and my two sons, Tyler who is 7 years old, Jake who is 4, and a little girl on the way. They keep me busy when I'm not at school.
 
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy snuggling up with a good book (whether it's mine or the kids). I am an avid sports fan and enjoy cheering my East Coast teams from the comfort of my couch. My boys and I also have an appreciation for music and dance. It is not unusual to find us dancing around the house when cleaning.
 
I am honored to be a part of this fantastic school district and look forward to working with your children this year. Please feel free to contact me at any time. I am a constant email checker so that is probably the easiest way to get a hold of me but I do enjoy a phone call or personal one-on-one conference from time to time as well. Can't wait to meet you all!
 
Elizabeth Gaskell
