Mrs. Betsy Albert
|
My name is Betsy Albert. I am excited to be back in 1st grade! I have been in education for twenty years. I received my B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Colorado and my Master's in Elementary Education from the University of Nevada. This is my fourteenth year at Little Flower School. I have taught kindergarten, first, third, and fifth grades. After a brief survey of intermediate grades, I have come to realize that I enjoy working with 1st graders the most. In addition to teaching 1st grade, I will be teaching general music to grades K - 5. I live in Reno with my family and new puppy, George Theodore. |

Brittany is happy to be back in her hometown and is eager to give back to the community she grew up in!
