Mrs. Near has been actively working in schools and with students since 2019 and is a proud Navy veteran.  She is teaching 3^rd-6^th grade science this year and is very excited for this experience.

During her time outside of school, she enjoys: watching and playing sports, spending time with her family, vacationing in new places, and teaching fitness classes.  Some of her favorite things are: her French bulldog Charlie and Staffordshire terrier Remi, the color green, pizza, sushi, and gummy candy, watching football and baseball, supporting local businesses, fall, Halloween, everything Disney, AND her newest sports hobby golf.  If you are a golfer, why not ask her to join you for a game!?!
