Kendallvue Elementary School

Allyson Gibson

Hello Kendallvue! My name is Allyson Gibson and I am excited to be in 2nd grade again this year.

I have now been at Kendallvue for all 6 years of my teaching career and could not be more grateful for landing in such a great community and place to teach. After teaching 1st grade for 4 years I moved up to 2nd grade and absolutely love it! I am a Metro State graduate and am in the process of pursuing a Master of Science in Instruction and Curriculum Design.

I am a mom of two boys ages 4 and 2 with LOTS of energy! Most of my time outside of school is spent with these little guys at the park, library, swimming and playing (their favorite) baseball. When I do get an extra minute or two, I enjoy the outdoors, reading, and going out to dinner.

I have dreamed of being a teacher for as long as I can remember, therefore, I am essentially living my dream career. I love working with kids and seeing their face light up when they have mastered something new. Creating a team of learners within the classroom is something I value.  I am looking forward to another great year in 2nd grade!

Kelsey Fugita

Hello! My name is Kelsey Fugita and I am one of the lucky teachers in 2^nd grade this year! This school year is my 3^rd year teaching and my 5^th year at Kendallvue. I was lucky enough to be able to be a student teacher here in 3^rd grade. I have also taught 2^nd and 3^rd grade here at Kendallvue.  

As a lifelong learner, I am always striving to become a better teacher and learn something new every day. Teaching is a beautiful thing, because not only do I get to teach students, but I also get to learn from them every single day. I believe in high expectations for students and helping them meet those achievements. There’s nothing better than seeing hard work pay off! I believe that every child can be a leader and do amazing things. 

There is no place like Kendallvue for me, and it has truly become my home over these past five years. I have grown to know so many of the families and have had many siblings in my classes! I love the sense of community we have here at Kendallvue and the fact that we are able to have so much involvement! 

I am a Colorado Native and enjoy spending my time with my family and my dog Finn. Reading and going on adventures are two of my favorite things! Harry Potter and BTS are two of my favorite things, as well! I am also love sports and watching the Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, and Chicago Blackhawks! 

I am so excited for this year and look forward to seeing everyone!
