Welcome, my name is Christy Larson and I will be your child’s lead kindergarten teacher this year. I knew from an early age that I wanted to become a teacher so I attended ASU and earned my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education in 2008. This is my sixth year here at Archway Lincoln and my twelfth year as a professional educator. Most of my experience comes from the grades kindergarten and first, however, I do have classroom experience through fifth grade. I enjoy teaching the young scholars so I am thrilled to be in kindergarten once again. I am an Arizona native and live in Mesa with my husband and six year old daughter who also attends Archway Lincoln! My hobbies include reading, crafting, and spending time outdoors. I firmly believe that Archway Lincoln is an incredible school with a wonderful parent community. I look forward to a productive and successful school year!Bridget Pape – Teacher Assistant
Hello, my name is Bridget Pape. This will be my second year teaching with Great Hearts and I am excited to work with your young scholars as they begin their academic journey! I was very fortunate to receive a Classical Education while growing up, and I believe that it has helped me to foster a deep love of learning. I look at the world with a sense of wonder and it is this wonder that I hope to cultivate in others through teaching. A few things that I enjoy outside of work are: baseball, traveling, reading, science and math, and spending time with my family and friends.
