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!

Mattison Lord

I am Matti Lord or Mrs. Lord and I will be in 2nd grade again this year.

I am excited for my third year teaching at Kendallvue. This will be my 9th year teaching. My first 3 years of teaching was on an island in southeast Alaska. I also coached HS cheerleading. I was lucky enough to meet my husband in Alaska and we moved back to my native roots in Colorado.

My husband Austin and I have a little spunky girl named Locklyn who is starting preschool this year. We also just welcomed a new addition to our family at the end of March, our little boy, Ledger. We love to go hiking, swimming, and paddleboarding.  I love to dance and have been having fun doing hair for weddings over the summer.

I have so much fun teaching and building a relationship with each kid in my class. I see our class as a family and we are there to support and learn from one another. I always strive to make learning fun, authentic, and engaging. I can’t wait for another exciting year in 2nd grade at Kendallvue!
