E.S.L.
Christy Bouldin
My name is Christy Bouldin and I feel very lucky to be teaching at Sanchez. What we do here for kids is amazing! The teacher collaboration, climate, and the students make me enjoy coming to school each day. I can’t imagine doing anything else as a career. As a person who needs to stay busy, teaching keeps me motivated and happy. This is my 13th year of teaching in the primary grades and teaching English and Reading are my passion.
I am fortunate to live in two places every year. My fiancé and I are building a cabin in the woods on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. We spend long summer days fishing for salmon and halibut, dodging moose on the trails, and listening to loons on the lake. We both love Colorado, as Alaskan winters are long, and commit to the sunnier days here during most of the year.
I am looking forward to my wedding in August here in Colorado. Alaska was a little far for guests to attend, so we chose something a little more convenient for traveling!
My southern accent will tell you that I’m not a Colorado native. I was born and raised in a small Virginia town where you knew practically everyone. My parents and brother still reside there. After I graduated from Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, VA I made a big move to the wide open spaces of Jackson Hole, WY and fell in love with the mountains. I won’t go back home! My free time is spent hiking, fishing, skiing, walking my dog, reading and enjoying the mountain air. I love the lifestyle here and it makes me a better person.

Carol Campbell
To begin, I graduated from University of Colorado, Boulder, with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s in Elementary Education with emphasis in Bilingual and Special Education. It took another decade to fulfill endorsement requirements for Linguistically Diverse and Special Education in various universities including UNC, and Ft Hayes, Kansas which have most helpfully provided on-line courses. My rationale was to be prepared for any student that would enter my path.
Teaching is as complex as a biological process and yet each age provides sweet moments of personal discovery. The thrill of helping another young person learn about the world and its fascinating details is just as rewarding as helping him or her learn the social skills of this same world to fit in positively and productively. I love meeting my students and colleagues to solve the learning puzzles we face daily.
This longer road (someone once told me to be a dental hygienist to save money) has been possible through the support of my husband, Carl, and three wonderful children who are now engaged in engineering, teaching or nursing in various capacities. They can remember attending a few of my classes at CU or leading a reading group at a “bring your child to work” day.
A final note to relaxation: It’s a good thing to do once in a while. Music and horseback riding fill that niche. And they are worth enjoying with others. Thanks to music lessons and a family who liked to make noise around the piano, I play some piano, guitar and violin.
