Mrs. Kari Groeneveld

I am Kari Groeneveld or as the kids call me: Mrs. GV! The 2019-2020 school year will be my 9th year teaching. 

I am a determined, passionate and collaborative educator.  I am committed to fostering a safe, positive, high-quality learning environment for all children. I want to build positive, strong home to school connections with parents, caretakers and families, too. I am a strong believer in and advocate for inclusive education.

I will forever be a lifelong learner and bring my best every day for those around me.

I am living the dream!
