In August, we had the pleasure of welcoming a cohort of talented and enthusiastic new faculty and staff members into the Old Trail School community.
Each of these individuals brings unique experiences, passions and expertise that will enrich our students' learning environments and contribute to the overall vibrancy of our school. As we embark on a new academic year, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging is vital, not only for our students but also for our faculty, staff and families. We encourage everyone to take a moment to introduce themselves and welcome these new (and one returning) faces.
Joining our team are educators and professionals who are ready to engage and inspire. Hannah Allshouse steps in as our Building Substitute, supporting various classrooms and learning environments across campus. Alyssa Diaz takes on a dual role as our new Spanish Teacher and Atelierista, combining language instruction with creative, hands-on learning in the early childhood art studio. Allie Dudash and Ariel Sullivan are joining our Early Childhood team, helping our youngest learners thrive during these formative years.
We’re also thrilled to have Kyra Kelley, a passionate advocate for the arts, who will be serving as our Performing Arts Teacher and Admission Associate. Sarah Osborn will be teaching in the Toddler and Toddler Adult programs, creating a nurturing space for our littlest students. Kelley Pratt brings her expertise to our Grade 1 classroom, and Amanda Pry joins the Advancement Office as our new Development Associate. Finally, we welcome Marina Rubio as a new Spanish Teacher, continuing to build our strong world languages program.
These educators and staff members are sure to make a lasting impact on our community. Please join us in welcoming them to the Old Trail family!
