Hello, I am Kyla Bartelheimer. I grew up in the Snohomish area with my parents and two older brothers. I went to Saint Brendan's Parish School in Bothell from Kindergarten through 8th grade. I continued my Catholic education at Archbishop Murphy High School where I graduated in 2005. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to attend Catholic Schools for 13 years of my life. It gave me the chance to discover my faith and to develop a deeper understanding for my religion. I went on to Washington State University where I graduated with a BA in Elementary Education and received my Washington State Teaching Certificate. My husband Peter and I live in Snohomish with our 3 kids, who all attend Saint Michael School.
I taught at Saint Michael School for 4 years in a 2nd, 3rd, 4th grade multi-age class. I have spent the last 5 years at home with my kids, while subbing in the local Catholic Schools and helping with our family farm business. I am very excited to be getting back into my own classroom. I believe that every student can and will succeed with the correct guidance. I plan on all of my students succeeding. I also believe that family is number one and that parents need to stay informed about what is going on in their students' lives at school. To help accomplish this, Mr. Egan and I have created this website to post updates. I am excited to influence these young students and help guide them to a deeper understanding of their religion and learn how to succeed in our world today.
