Parents and Students,

I am beyond thrilled to join the Hillcrest family as a 2nd-grade teacher! This will be my second year teaching 2nd grade, but my first year in this district. We are a Navy family and have lived all over the world. I am also a parent of a Hillcrest Heron, and an OHI Panther. We enjoy camping, hiking, and just enjoying the outdoors of the PNW.

In my classroom, we are all family. My goal is that each student feels safe, connected, and loved. We will work hard and laugh a lot. I will communicate with you mostly through email, Class Dojo, and the occasional phone call. Always feel free to reach out to me at any time as well.

I look forward to collaborating with you and making 2nd grade the best year for your child!

Sincerely,

Carolyn Sorensen
