Meet Mrs. Burgess- 6th Grade GATE Science I was born in Mexico City, Mexico but grew up near Pasadena, California. I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a bachelors in Elementary and Special Education. I also graduated from NAU with a Masters in Educational Leadership. Go Lumberjacks! This will be my 23rd year teaching, all of which has been in Kyrene and in middle school grades 6th-8th. This year at Akimel A-al, I will be teaching 6th grade GATE Science and supporting students in reading intervention. I have a wonderful family full of nephews and nieces. My husband and I have raised two German Shepherds and now have a rescue dog named, Rosie. She is definitely the Teacher’s Pet! Living in AZ allows me to do all my favorite activities like hiking, paddle boarding, biking and roller skating (I’m just a beginner but I love it). Can’t wait for an awesome year!

This year I am excited to be teaching 6th grade Social Studies as well as 8th grade. In my free time I enjoy going on hikes with my dogs Rascal and Roo, reading a good book, listening to music (I really miss live music!), and swimming.
